This tutorial shows you how to configure Common Base Event logging in the Java^TM language. This gives you a rich source of activity and control-flow information to accelerate problem determination and increase system serviceability and quality. The Log and Trace Analyzer can then use logged Common Base Events to detect and resolve configuration errors, performance degradation, exception states, resource starvation, security failures, communication delays, deadlocking, and other problems.

The tutorial introduces the concept of problem determination, outlines the Common Base Event model, and details the benefits of logging events and problems in the Common Base Event format. You learn how to configure a Java class for Common Base Event logging using the Java Logging APIs. This teaches you the essential Common Base Event properties and best practices you need for effective serviceability and internationalization. Finally, you learn how to leverage the Common Base Event factory for increased performance, decreased maintenance, and vendor-specific content.

Prerequisites

This tutorial requires the Autonomic Computing Toolkit V2.0. The Autonomic Computing Toolkit V2.0 requires Eclipse V3.0.1. Eclipse V3.0.1 requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) V1.4 or above.

To run the code in this tutorial, you need the Common Base Event V1.0.1 Java implementation and support in the Log and Trace Analyzer V3.0.0, which is part of the Autonomic Computing Toolkit V2.0. You'll also need Java Archive (JAR) files outlined in the tutorial.
