Get Started with Log Monitor

The Log Monitor provides a centralized utility for monitoring the status of a Local Logger as well as remote Loggers on all Platforms under the Galaxy group and user-configured node groups.

The primary purpose of the Log Monitor is to provide a single place for you to determine whether any error/warning conditions exist in the ArchestrA environment. The user interface provides icon and, if configured, audible notification if errors arise on a node.

The list of Loggers shown in the Log Monitor is derived from the list of nodes in the Console Tree of the Log Viewer utility. It includes all Platforms under the Galaxy group, the Local node (your computer) and all configured node groups. Each node appears once in the Log Monitor’s logger list even if a node has been included in more than one node group in the Log Viewer.

The Log Monitor dynamically changes when a user modifies the node group hierarchy in the Operations Control Management Console. For instance, adding new nodes or deleting existing ones is automatically updated in the Log Monitor logger list. This list of nodes is not persisted when you quit the Log Monitor, but rather is created when the utility is started.
