A log action allows you to record a predefined message in a log file when an alert is generated.

To create a log action:

  1. In the OpenEdge Management console menu, choose one:
    • Select Library > New > Log Action.
    • Select Library > Go to Library > Create Log Action.
    The Create new Log Action page appears.
  2. Enter the name in the Name field. You must not use spaces or special characters such as an asterisk (*), ampersand (&), or period ( . ) in the Name field.
  3. Enter the description in the Description field.
  4. Enter the name of the log file in the File field.
  5. Click Save. The Log Action: <log action name> page for the newly created log action appears.

    You can now edit, copy, delete, or test the log action.
