[Version 8.6 and later]You can view current event notifications, show event notification history, and set notification filters from the message center with the xscmd utility.

Before you begin

Procedure

  • Display the event notification history with the xscmd utility.
    The output displays in a tabular format.
    xscmd -c showNotificationHistory -cep hostname:port(,hostname:port)
  • Listen for new notifications.
    xscmd -c listenForNotifications -cep hostname:port(,hostname:port) 
    The output is in raw format and runs until you stop the command. You can write additional scripts to parse the output.
  • Enable filtering on all future log entries, including INFO, WARNING, and SEVERE log entries. By default, the message center & commands only show WARNING errors, SEVERE errors, and events. You can set the filter for all servers in the environment or a single server. This setting affects future results only.
    xscmd -c setNotificationFilter -fs <regular expression>  [-server <servername>] 
  • Display the current notification filters for all the servers in your environment or a single server.
    xscmd -c getNotificationFilter [-s servername]
