Setting up a Numeric Value Extraction on a LOG file

 Home  Previous  Next

The numeric value extraction feature is integrated within the LOG File Monitoring and Analysis tool itself, therefore you can add it in two ways:

•Either during the creation of the instance of the LOG file analysis instance
•Or later, through the Edit function (while editing the properties and credentials of an instance).

Performing a numeric value extraction search during the creation of the LOG file analysis instance

The option to perform a numeric value extraction appears on the Add Application Instance - Properties and Credentials page during the creation of the LOG file analysis instance.

1.Enter the input properties for the instance and click on Add next to Numeric Value Extraction.
2.The page that displays shows the input properties entered for the new LOG file instance in the process of being created followed by fields to add a numeric value extraction for this new LOG file instance (under string search).
3.Enter the required numeric value extraction input properties and on clicking Next, the page displays all the properties for the application class under creation and the numeric value extraction added. You can edit/delete the properties if they are incorrect. If not, click on Next.
4.You arrive next at the Thresholds, Properties and Credentials page: Here set/modify thresholds and alert conditions here for the LOG file instance as well as the numeric value extraction just added. For details on parameters and thresholds, refer to the Reference Guide.
5.Click Finish. A Changes Saved message indicates that the LOG file analysis instance and its numeric value extraction have been successfully added!

Adding a numeric value extraction later through Edit

A numeric value extraction can be added to an LOG file analysis instance at any time. To do this you:

1.In the Configure tab, click on the LOG file analysis instance to which you wish to add the numeric value extraction.
2.The Edit Threshold, Properties and Credentials page appears. Click Edit.
3.Scroll down to the LOG file analysis instance Input Properties section, and click Edit.
4.The Properties - Edit - Instance Properties and Credentials page appears. Click Add next to Numeric Value Extraction.
5.Enter the input properties for the numeric value extraction and click Next.
6.The page displays all the input properties. Verify their accuracy and click Next.  You arrive next at the Thresholds, Properties and Credentials page. For details on parameters and thresholds, refer to the Reference Guide.
7.Set thresholds and alert conditions here for the numeric value extraction just added. The numeric value extraction has no alert conditions set by default. Click Finish.
8.A Changes Saved message indicates that the numeric value extraction instance has been successfully added!
