Displaying Event Information for Assets
Pre-requisites:
The following general guidelines apply when displaying the events:
*Ensure that webMethods Mediator is configured to collect and report runtime events.
You must configure Mediator to communicate with CentraSite (in the Integration Server Administrator, go to Solutions > Mediator > Administration > CentraSite Communication). For procedures, see Administering webMethods Mediator.
*Ensure that CentraSite is configured to receive runtime events from Mediator.
The Events profile displays the runtime events of an asset. You can filter the list by target, event type and time period.
The Events profile contains information about runtime events that have occurred in a target (that is, a policy-enforcement point (PEP) or a runtime monitoring component).
The target publishes to CentraSite the runtime events that have occurred (assuming that the target type contains a MIB file in its target type definition file).
CentraSite provides predefined event types for use with Mediator, or any third-party policy-enforcement point (PEP), or runtime monitoring component such as Insight that is integrated with CentraSite. In addition, you can create custom event types using CentraSite Control.
Users with proper permissions can perform the following additional tasks:
*View a log of all runtime events that have occurred in a particular gateway or in all gateways.
*Create and manage custom run-time event types for use with Mediator.
*To display the runtime events of an asset
