Web Log Monitor

The Web Log Monitor provides users the ability to monitor the contents of log files for HTTP and application servers. Rules can be defined to describe what contents in a log file are to be monitored for. When a defined rule is matched in the specified log file, a notification is sent to the configured notification channel.

The Web Log Monitor inspects specified log files of any Web-related server, such as Integrated Web Application Server, Integrated Web Services Server, WebSphere® Application Server, and IBM® HTTP Server. The log files are inspected for each keyword that is specified in the rule. If a match is encountered, a notification is sent to the configured notification channel, which can be one of the following channels:
  • The *QSYSOPR system message queue.
  • One or more e-mail addresses.
  • Both the *QSYSOPR system message queue and e-mail addresses.

You can monitor log files for multiple servers under a single monitor.

Use the IBM Web Administration for i interface to configure the Web Log Monitor to monitor logs of your Web environment.
