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.

2Click 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.
