Snooping on a Channel
Snooping on a channel in the Enterprise Manager enables you to view the contents of events published on the channel. You can view details about all events on the channel or about a specific set of events, based on their event IDs or additional filtering criteria.
To start snooping on a channel
1. In the namespace tree of a realm, select the channel on which you want to snoop and click the Snoop tab.
2. Do any of the following:
To snoop on all events published on the channel, click
Start.
To snoop on a range of events, in the
From field, specify the ID of the first event in the range, and in the
To field, specify the ID of the last event in the range. Click
Start.
Note: If you do not specify a value in the From field, the range of events starts with the first event on the channel and ends with the event specified in the To field. If you do not specify a value in the To field, the range of events starts with the event specified in the From field and ends with the last event on the channel.
To snoop on events that match specific filtering criteria based on the properties of the event, in the
Filter field, specify a selector string that will be used for filtering. Click
Start.
The Enterprise Manager populates the snooped events table with the events published on the channel. You can view details about the events.
You can pause the snoop temporarily or stop the snoop altogether. Stopping the channel snoop clears the snooped events table.
