OpenEdge Management automatically creates a database log file monitor for each managed database started through OpenEdge Management.
The database log file monitor can help you:
Ensure the integrity of database log files by monitoring files for errors and allowing you to define actions to trigger when errors occur.
Use predefined database-related search criteria, or create your own criteria, to run against the data in your database file. You create and maintain search criteria in the OpenEdge Management Component Library.
Specifically, the predefined search criteria provide detailed data about the recorded operations of your database and offer you a means to extract this data. This data can help you effectively respond to and manage your database.
Note: You can also create a log file monitor for use with files such as log files, text files, or any non-OpenEdge log file. The search criteria feature works the same in each of these resource types. For information about the log file monitor and detailed information about search criteria that pertain to these resource types, see OpenEdge Management: Resource Monitoring.
