Viewing health event notifications in the message center

You can use the message center in the web console to assess the real-time health of the entire data grid and catalog service domain. The events that are displayed in the message center are a subset of events that are filtered to display the most critical issues.

• View severe errors, FFDC messages, and start and stop server events through event notifications in the web console.
  These notifications display automatically when you are logged into any page in the web console.
• View messages in the message center.
  In the web console, click Monitor > Message Center. The message center displays the last 1000 critical messages that have been sent through the catalog server message hub.

  The catalog server message hub filters the messages that display, so the 1000 messages that display. Therefore, the message center contains a subset of all of the critical events that are occurring on the catalog servers. If new messages become available while you have the page open, an information message with the option to refresh the page is displayed at the top of the page.

• Filter the messages that are displayed in the message center.
  You can add up to three filtering rules. A rule consists of the column, condition, and value.
  1. In the web console, click Monitor > Message Center.
  2. Click the filter button ().
  3. Add a rule.
     1. Click the add button ().
     2. Choose the column in the message center on which you want to filter:

        ID

        The event ID generated by the message center.

        The type of message, which indicates the severity of the message. Valid values are: Severe, Warning, Error, and Information.

        Source

        The server where the message originated.

        Message

        The message text for the message event.

     3. Select the condition to which you want to apply the filter. The following list of conditions are valid for most of the columns, other than date and type:
        • Contains
        • Is
        • Starts with
        • Ends with
     4. Enter a value on which you want to filter the column.

  4. You can choose to match any or all of the rules that you have defined.
