Configuring the message center

[Version 8.6 and later]To use the message center, you must configure your catalog servers as messaging hubs.

Procedure

  1. Activate the catalog server as a hub for the health monitoring framework.
    All catalog servers are activated as hubs by default. You can enable or disable this setting with the following property in the server.properties file for the catalog server:
    [Version 8.6 and later]enableManagementConcentrator
    [Version 8.6 and later]Specifies whether the catalog server is a hub for the message center. This property is enabled by default. To disable the hub, set the value to false.

    Default: true

  2. Optional: If you want INFO log messages to be included, you must specify a regular expression that filters the INFO log messages.
    Specify your regular expression with the following property in the server.properties file for the catalog server:
    [Version 8.6 and later]logNotificationFilter
    [Version 8.6 and later]Specifies a regular expression that filters all messages, including the information level log messages. This filter determines which messages generate health monitoring events. If you do not specify a regular expression, information level log messages are not published through the health monitoring framework. By default, only WARNING and SEVERE level messages generate health monitoring events.

    Example: logNotificationFilter=.*DYNACACHE.*

  3. When you change server properties, you must restart the catalog server.

What to do next

After your catalog servers are activated as hubs for the health monitoring framework, you can use the message center in the web console or the xscmd utility to view notifications for health events.
