Johannes Fischer edited this page Dec 18, 2024 · 3 revisions

The RFLIB Application Event Dashboard provides a centralized view of log events, allowing you to monitor, analyze, and drill into specific event data. This guide explains key features of the dashboard and how to interact with it effectively.


1. Overview of the Dashboard

The Application Event Dashboard visualizes events over specific timeframes (e.g., by week or day) and displays counts of application log events. When Log Aggregation is enabled, the dashboard will display log events in the format:

log-<LEVEL>-<CONTEXT>
  • LEVEL: Severity level, such as DEBUG, INFO, WARN, or ERROR.
  • CONTEXT: The related feature, module, or process where the event occurred.

2. Accessing the Dashboard

  1. System Admins: Automatically have access.
  2. Non-System Admins:
    • Must be added to the Ops Center Public Group to view the dashboard. This can be done in the Management Console.
    • Reach out to your administrator to enable access if needed.

3. Using the Dashboard

Key Features:

Refresh Button

Refresh Button Highlighted

The Refresh button retrieves the latest snapshot of data.

The dashboard does not auto-refresh, so you must click this button to see updated event statistics.


Interactive Charts

Application Events Weekly View

The dashboard provides visual breakdowns of:

  • Application Events Names by Week: Displays event counts over 52 weeks.
  • Today's Application Events: Shows the top 50 events for the current day.
  • This Week's Application Events: Highlights the top events for the week.

Click on any bar to open a detailed report containing all records for that specific statistic, such as event names, timestamps, and additional data.


4. Example Workflow

  1. You notice a spike in log-ERROR-import-data events.
  2. Click on the corresponding bar in the "Today's Application Events" chart to open a detailed report.
  3. Review the list of records to identify when and where these errors occurred.
  4. Use this data to troubleshoot issues or address trends in your application.

5. Conclusion

By using the Application Event Dashboard, you can monitor critical log events and access detailed insights with just a few clicks. Remember to refresh the dashboard regularly and leverage the bar-click feature to investigate specific events.
