Elements

The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Elements are used to assign values to ObjectServer fields; the field values contain the event details in a form that the ObjectServer understands.

The following table describes the elements that the Generic Log File Java Probe generates. Not all the elements described are generated for each event; the elements that the probe generates depends upon the event type.

Element name

Element description

$FullDetails

This element contains a concatenation of all $FieldVal[n] elements for each event.

$Token[n]

The probe derives these elements by parsing the log file. [n] is the element number from the beginning of the line. [n] starts at 1.

$NVP_[token_name]

The probe derives these elements by parsing the log file stream into its constituent name-value pairs, and creates a element for each token in the stream.

$TokenCount

This element contains the total number of all name-value pair tokens generated plus the $FullDetails token.
