Last updated Friday, 21 July 2017Activity logs contain information about message flows and how they interact with external resources. They can be generated for a message flow or a resource type. Learn about the structure and content of Activity logs, and about the tags that enrich the log data and can be used to filter its content.
The data in Activity logs, whether viewed in IBM® Integration Explorer or in files, is organized in columns. The following columns are displayed by default:
| Column title | IBM Integration Explorer Display title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MessageNumber | Message Number | The message identifier |
| Severity | Displayed as an icon in IBM Integration Explorer | The severity of the message (whether the message is informational, a warning or an error) |
| Timestamp | Timestamp | The date and time that the activity occurred (taken from the computer that is hosting the broker) |
| ThreadID | Thread ID | The identifier of the thread on which the activity message was generated |
| FormattedMessage | Message Summary (double-click any row to see the detail of the formatted message) | The formatted activity message (with all inserts resolved) |
| Inserts | Not applicable (this column is not displayed in IBM Integration Explorer) | The message inserts |
| RM | RM | A resource type name |
| MSGFLOW | MSGFLOW | A message flow name |
One of the important features of the Activity log is the use of tags to enrich the log data. Tags are strings representing significant categories of data that can be used for filtering and for providing additional information.
In the Log Columns table, the column headings RM and MSGFLOW are examples of tags.
Some tags are generic across all types of log, but some are specific to individual resource types. The following tags apply to all types of Activity log:
| Name | Description | Valid values |
|---|---|---|
| RM | The name of the resource type to which the activity relates |
|
| MSGFLOW | The name of the message flow to which the activity relates | Any valid message flow name |
| NODE | The name of the message flow node from where the Activity log message is generated | Any valid message flow node name |
| NODETYPE | The type of the message flow node from where the Activity log message is generated |
|
| HOSTNAME | The name of the host server where the Activity log message is generated | Any valid host name |
| PORT | The listening port of the host server where the Activity log message is generated | Any valid port |
| CONNECTION_EVENT | An event relating to a change in the state of the connection |
|
| FILENAME | A file name | Any valid file name |
| FILEPATH | The fully qualified path to the file specified using the FILENAME tag | Any valid file path |
| CONFIGURABLESERVICE | The name of a configurable service | Any valid configurable service name |
