2. Key concepts

This microlearning centers around determining the origin of log entries.
By origin, in this context, we mean: Identifying which flow wrote an entry to the log that might be in need of analysis.

  • Determining in which flow a log entry is raised can be done with the help of the Manage phase in eMagiz.
  • In the Manage phase you have an option called Monitoring. In this overview, you will see all logging that is relevant without your project.
  • This overview allows you to filter on various elements, such as runtime, type, and timestamp. This way you can conduct a more focused search.
  • Double-clicking on a log entry provides you with the relevant details
  • Note that log entries are not shown in full when they exceed a certain size so takes this into account when logging
  • When you know the flow and the details you have determined the origin of the log entry

3. How to steps

4. Assignment

Determine the origin of at least five log entries that have been raised within your (Academy) project in the last two weeks. If your project has no log entries be creative in messing up stuff to create a log entry for which you can then determine the origin.
