View Self-Monitoring Events

You can use self-monitoring events to verify that CA Enterprise Log Manager server is installed properly. While you have some configuration tasks to complete before CA Enterprise Log Manager can collect and report on event log data from around your network, you can see self-monitoring events generated by the CA Enterprise Log Manager server right away.

Logging into the CA Enterprise Log Manager server is the first and best test of a successful installation. Self-monitoring events are another way to check on the status of the CA Enterprise Log Manager server. There are a number of self-monitoring event types available. Use this procedure to see additional event data from events generated by the CA Enterprise Log Manager server itself.

To view self-monitoring events

1. Log into the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.
2. Access the Reports tab.
3. Click the System tag and select the report, Self Monitoring Events Detail.

   The self-monitoring events report loads.

4. Verify that the self-monitoring events for your login and other preliminary configuration actions are present in the report.
