The database log file monitor that OpenEdge Management creates for each database contains default values. You can use these values, or you can customize the log file monitor to suit your needs.

Note: This guide presents the basic steps needed to customize a log file monitor and does not describe search criteria in detail. See OpenEdge Management: Resource Monitoring for detailed information about creating and changing search criteria.

To customize a database log file monitor:

  1. From the Database details page of the selected database, click Log File Monitor in the Command and Control section.
    The Log File Monitor for: <database name> page appears.
  2. In the Monitoring Plans section, choose one:
    • Click Add Plan to add a monitoring plan to this resource monitor.
      Note: OpenEdge Management prevents the assignment of schedules that share days or have times that overlap. For example, if you have a Default_Schedule set up for a resource monitor, you cannot set up an additional plan because the Default_Schedule is defined for 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You must modify or remove the Default_Schedule to set up additional plans.
    • Click Edit against an existing plan to customize.
  3. Set or change the polling interval.
  4. Select the Alerts Enabled check box to enable alerts.
  5. For a new plan, click Save.
  6. Click either Add Rule or Select Rule Sets in the Rules selected for this plan section.
  7. After you either add a rule or select from the list of predefined rule sets, click Save to return to the monitoring plan detail page.
