Data that you can capture and view using the DataServer resource log file monitors and viewers can help you:

  • Ensure the integrity of these log files by monitoring files for errors and allowing you to define actions that trigger when errors occur.
  • Use predefined DataServer-related search criteria, or create your own, to run against the data in these log files. OpenEdge Management predefines search criteria to support the broker and server log file monitors.

    The following figure shows an excerpt of the Search Criteria subcategories, including the DataServer Broker and DataServer Server links to the predefined search criteria.

Figure 1. Search criteria


You can create and maintain the search criteria for each of the DataServer resources in the following two locations:

  • At the DataServer resource local file monitor instance level. The search text and type are not shareable at this level. See Customizing a DataServer broker log file monitor for details.
  • At the OpenEdge Management Component Library level under the DataServer subcategory. The search text and type are shareable at this level. See Working with rule sets for details.

Specifically, the predefined search criteria provide:

  • Detailed data about the recorded operations of a DataServer broker or DataServer
  • A means by which you can extract detailed data
