Analyzing log and trace data

You can use the log analysis tools to analyze how your runtime environment is performing and solve problems that occur in the environment.

About this task

You can generate reports from the existing log and trace files in the environment. These visual reports can be used for the following purposes:

  • To analyze runtime environment status and performance:
    • Deployment environment consistency
    • Logging frequency
    • Running topology versus configured topology
    • Unplanned topology changes
    • Partition replication status
    • Statistics of memory, throughput, processor usage, and so on
  • To troubleshoot problems in the environment:
    • Topology views at specific points in time
    • Statistics of memory, throughput, processor usage during client failures
    • Current fix pack levels, tuning settings
