Logger Health Messages
Logger Health Messages provides insight when communication with the logging engine fails. It reveals both failures and routine health checkpoint messages for the WhatsUp Gold logger engine. This logger health journal also traces the various source assemblies where checkpoint, failure messages, and exceptions originate.
Each log message record contains the following data columns:
- . Date and time for the event message.
- . Name of the main program that owns the message. Typically the name of an executable.
- . Name of the component or library where the log health or exception message originates.
- . Failures and exceptions take the Error severity level.
- . WhatsUp Gold component message, for example, NmEngine. started.
: At the bottom of the Logger Health Messages report, the record summary displays the total number of rows matching your filter criteria.
