Displaying Event Information for Assets (APIs)
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.
*Ensure that you have at least an instance-level View permission on the Runtime Events profile of the asset.
*Ensure that the type's definition (for example, Virtual Service) includes the Runtime Events profile to view runtime event information for its asset instance.
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.
