Appendix I.3 Action log output format

Information related to monitored events is output to Performance Management action logs. An action log file is output for each host (physical host or logical host). The output destination hosts for action logs are as follows.

The output format of action logs, their output destination, and output items are explained below.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Output format
(2) Output destination
(3) Output items
(4) Output example

(1) Output format

CALFHM x.x,output-item-1 = value-1,output-item-2 = value-2,...,output-item-n = value-n

(2) Output destination

installation-folder\auditlog\

You can change the output destination for action logs in the jpccomm.ini file. For details about how to set up the jpccomm.ini file, see I.4 Settings for outputting action logs.

(3) Output items

Output items can be divided into the following two categories:

(a) Common output items

The table below shows the values that are output to common output items and descriptions of these items. This table also includes items that are output by PFM - Manager and their descriptions.

8 Process ID pid process-ID Process ID for which the event occurred
9 Location ocp:host
  • host-name
  • IP-address
 Location where the event occurred
10 Event type ctgry

  • ManagementAction
 Category name for categorizing the events that are output to action logs
11 Event result result
  • Success (success)

TZD is a time zone specifier and one of the following is output:
+hh:mm: Indicates that the time is hh:mm ahead of UTC.
-hh:mm: Indicates that the time is hh:mm behind UTC.
Z: Indicates that the time is the same as UTC.

(b) Fixed output items

6 Free description msg message Message that is output when an alarm occurs or an automatic action is executed

Depending on the output trigger, some fixed output items are output while others are not, and the content of the output items also varies. Message IDs and the content of fixed output items are explained below for each output trigger.

n PFM service start/stop (StartStop)

n Stand-alone mode start/stop (StartStop)

n Change in the status of connection with PFM - Manager (ExternalService)

n Execution of automatic action (ManagementAction)

(4) Output example

An action log output example follows.

CALFHM 1.0, seqnum = 1, msgid = KAVE03000-I, date = 2007-01-18T22:46:49.682 + 09:00,
progid = JP1PFM, compid = TA1host01, pid = 2076,
ocp:host = host01, ctgry = StartStop, result = Occurrence,
subj:pid = 2076,op = Start
