# Log Information

Entire Operations logs all important system events. You can view logs specific to an owner, network or job and specify additional information for the log report to be produced.

You can also use the monitoring function to observe all activities currently running in your Entire Operations environment.

The standard system log contains information about activities in the system as a whole such as user actions, date and time of events and messages about events. If additional (extended) information is available for any item on the system log, it is preceded by an asterisk (`*`). For details, see Displaying Extended Log Information.

This document covers the following topics:

- Displaying Logged Information

- Displaying Extended Log Information

- Output of Log Information

- Monitoring Entire Operations Activities

## Displaying Logged Information

To display all logged information

## Monitoring Entire Operations Activities

Activity monitoring is a non-conversational display of Entire Operations events on a special terminal, for example in the computer center. Activity monitoring can be started on this terminal and can be controlled from any other terminal.

Activity monitoring is used to permanently display Entire Operations events that currently occur in your Entire Operations environment.

The following applies to the monitoring feature:

- The activity monitoring facility receives its data from the Entire Operations log file.

- The activity monitoring facility only displays the most important messages. Error messages and other very important messages appear highlighted.

- The default setting displays events starting from the current time minus one hour. As the display is updated, it scrolls automatically. The start time and display refresh interval can be modified via the Control of Activity Monitoring option of the Special Functions system administration services described in the Administration documentation.

This section covers the following topics:

- Viewing Entire Operations Activities

- Fields and Columns: Activity Display

### Viewing Entire Operations Activities

To start activity monitoring and display activities

1. At a Natural command prompt, enter the following command and press ENTER:

       LOGON library-name

   where `library-name` is usually the SYSEOR system library.

   When you are logged on to the specified library, enter the following at the command prompt:

       ACTIVITY

   Or:
   In an Entire Operations command line, enter the following direct command and press ENTER:

       ACTIVITY

   Activity monitoring is started, and an Entire Operations Activity Display window like the example below opens:

        16-09-27                ***** Entire Operations *****                17:51:37

   You can modify the Query Interval (update interval) as required.

2. Press ENTER.

   An Activity Display screen like the example below appears:

   The Display Interval (query interval) is equivalent to the Monitor and cannot be changed.

   The fields and columns contained on the screen are described in Fields and Columns: Activity Display.

3. When the query interval has expired and the Next Interrupt time is reached, a window like the example below prompts you to restart the Activity Display screen by entering `Y`, or end monitoring by entering `N`. Press ENTER.
