Viewing Server Activity & Statistics

Advanced Message Viewer

While the standard message viewer displays current message activity, the
advanced message viewer allows you to access messages that were sent on
previous days or locate current messages buried in a large output of
generated messages. Using the advanced message viewer, you can specify a
period of time (for example, the previous week) and set message filter options
for various types of messages. Based on this criteria, RiverMaster sends a
query to the Aurorean Policy Server. Messages that match the criteria are
extracted from log files and displayed in a separate message viewer window.
After the query results are displayed, you can sort and print detailed
descriptions for each message.

To open the advanced message viewer, perform these two steps:

1

Open the View System Activity pullout.

2

Click the Advanced Message Viewer button located at the bottom
right corner of the pullout.

The Message Viewer window appears as shown in Figure 86. This
figure illustrates the settings to retrieve all login and logout activity
for a single user over a two-week period.
