Log Analysis attributes

The attributes provide log analysis information.

The Log Analysis attributes provide application server error and exception conditions which are recorded in the application server log files.

The log files are SystemOut.log and SystemErr.log. Use the Log Analysis attributes in situations to monitor errors and exception conditions and their severity.

The attributes within this group are used to build the Log Analysis workspace.
