Getting the events list

You can view events stored in Event Hub.

  1. Select Administration Tools > Event Hub.
  2. Click the Browse Events tab.
  3. If the Subscriptions section is collapsed, expand it.
  4. From the available subscriptions list view, select one or more subscriptions.
  5. Optionally, you can use the search function to find and select the subscription by specifying the whole or part of the subscription in the Search field. The search value is case-insensitive.
  6. Click the Move right arrow icon.
  7. Optionally, you can remove one or more subscriptions from the Selected subscriptions list view by selecting one or more subscriptions.
  8. Optionally, you can use the search function to find and select the subscription to remove by specifying the whole or part of the subscription in the Search field. The search value is case-insensitive.
  9. Click the Move left arrow icon.
  10. Optionally, you can refresh the list of available subscriptions by clicking the Refresh button. Refreshing clears selected subscriptions, start time, time span, filtering criteria, and browsed events.
  11. Specify a date and a time in the field Start Time. Click the Calendar icon to select date and time from a calendar. You can also specify the date and time directly in the field. Use the yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm format.
  12. Select or specify a time span between one and 60 minutes. The time span is after the start time. For example, if the start time is 10:00 and the time span is 30 minutes, events with a timestamp between 10:00:00.000 and 10:30:59.999 are loaded. Events with timestamps outside of the specified start time and time span are not loaded.
  13. Optionally, specify a filtering criteria. You can specify an expression in this field. This expression must return a boolean value, and must be true for all loaded events. This field is a multi-line text area. The same expressions as for filtering criteria in Event Analytics can be used. Note that there is no field metadata for Browse Events. All field names are accepted, and all fields are handled as strings. If a field does not exist, the value is an empty string ('').

    For example:

    ORNO = '' AND (ITNO = '123' AND STAT = '20')

    The Filtering Criteria field is automatically validated after a change and when clicking Get Events. This field is marked as invalid if the expression is invalid, and the Get Events button is disabled. No message about the specific validation error is given. Fix or remove the expression to click this button.

    See the information about syntax and functions in Expressions.

  14. Click Get Events to get the events.
  15. The Subscriptions section is automatically collapsed, and the Events section is expanded to create more space to show the events. You can expand the Subscriptions section to select other subscriptions, another start time, or both.
  16. Optionally, you can pause and resume the loading of events by turning on the Load switch.
    See Loading of events.
  17. Optionally, you can filter events on tracking ID. Select one to 10 events and click the Filter events on Tracking ID icon to filter all events by the tracking IDs of the selected events. This step makes it easier to track chains of events when troubleshooting, for example M3 database event > time correlation event > M3BEBOD event > BOD event.
  18. Optionally, you can view all elements in a text field. Select one event and click the View all elements in a text field icon. A text field with all elements for the selected event is displayed. Click Format to show elements on separate lines. You can search in the text field using the browser's search functionality. Select the text field before searching in the browser. You can copy the text to your clipboard.
  19. Optionally, you can export the events to a CSV or Excel file by clicking Export. Only the selected events are exported.
