6.5.2 Processing Status
With large log files, translation and analysis operations are not instantaneous. After you have started processing a log file there are several ways to check the operations progress. You can check the processing status from either the navigation tree or the Progress window.
6.5.2.1 Navigation Tree
You can quickly determine the status of automatic or manual analysis by looking at the icons in the navigation tree. Figure 6–20 shows the icons used to indicate analysis results.
Figure 6–20 Status Icons
When automatic analysis generates a problem report, exclamation points are added to the icons for the node, system log, and real time monitoring. The icon remains changed until problem report details are viewed and the tree is refreshed. If another problem report is generated after the tree is refreshed, exclamation points are added to the icons again.
You also can determine the results of manual analysis on a binary event log file by checking the icons. SEA uses a animated yellow icon when a binary log file is being read and an animated green icon during analysis. If processing has completed and problem reports were generated, an exclamation point is added to the icon. Otherwise a check mark is added to the icon. Unlike the icon changes associated with automatic analysis, the manual analysis icon changes remain visible until you close the web interface session.
If you are only performing translation, when processing completes the icon will appear with a dash. See Section 6.9.1 for more information on configuring the web interface to only perform translation.
6.5.2.2 Progress Window
You can open the Progress window by clicking on the Progress Window button in the toolbar (see Figure 6–3).
The Progress window opens in a new browser window (Figure 6–21).
Figure 6–21 Progress WindowThe Progress window provides statistics for all the log files that are currently being analyzed by SEA, including automatic and manual analysis jobs. The information in the Progress window includes:
The position of each job in the queue is displayed, and information is dynamically updated as the processing changes. When a job finishes processing, it is removed from the window.
When monitoring the progress of a job, you can refresh the display manually by clicking the refresh icon in the upper left hand corner. To stop processing an active manual job, click on the Stop icon.
