Log Analyzer

Applicare log monitoring allows you to search and locate information spread across log files created by heterogeneous applications and servers, from a single powerful UI. Tight integration with IntelliSense and Business transaction monitoring allows you to zoom in on the relevant sections of log files for any transaction, with few clicks.

Configuration

Applicare can monitor any log file accessible by a monitored server / agent. You can provide the absolute path to the log file or a directory containing log files. If the provided path is a directory, all log files found in the directory will be monitored.

By default the Log Analyzer Service aspect will be available for all the agents. If it is not available then execute Step1 and 2 to add that Aspect.

Step 1: Go to Overview Menu and select the server and select Configure Dynamic Instrumentation button and add the Log Analyzer Service to the server.

Step 2: Go to LogAnalyzer Menu -> LogMonitor Configuration to add the Logs.

Note:

Please make sure that all the log entries of the log file are having the same date format otherwise Log Analyzer may fail to detect the file. Additionally, note that Log Analyser stores log enrty details under "<Applicare Install Dir>/server/solr" directory. Make sure that there is enough disk space on this location. On this location Applicare may require more disk space than the size of the log file that it monitors.
