What is the Log Status Code?
Logged Events can have a Log Status Code set to represent the state of the Log Event. The Events are logged from any of the Log Agents.
The Log Status Code is a crucial element in our logging and monitoring process. It represents the state of the event and is set for all logged events from any of :Nodinte: Log Agents and custom coded solutions. Your understanding and management of these codes are key to our operations.
Since the Log Status Code is a number, it may be hard for end-users to understand its semantics. Nodinite provides a way to map these codes into meaningful textual representations. This is done through a process where the numerical codes are associated with descriptive texts, making it easier for users to interpret the status of the logged events.
To further emphasize the meaning behind the Log Status Code Nodinite is configured accordingly with a Status Type. The following image exemplifies the different options available:
Here's an example of Log Status Types.
A user may search, Group and filter according to selected Log Status Codes:
Example Log View where the User searched by Log Status Code
Log Events matching the Log Status Code are displayed in Log Views coloured accordingly.
Some Examples:
- 0 from the BizTalk Log Agent can mean 'Message successfully transmitted' - Ok
- 76 from custom Log Agent can mean 'Invoice successfully created' - Ok
- 401 from a custom Web Api can mean 'Bad Request' - Error
- -16 from a custom Log4Net Appender Log Agent can mean 'Missing due date' - Warning
A Log Status Code has one of the following states:
| State | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | Not set or unknown | |
| Information | Not set or unknown | |
| Success | Used to indicate that the message was successfully processed | |
| Warning | Used to indicate an unexpected but not invalid state while processing the message | |
| Error | Used to indicate an error/fatal condition while processing the message |
The Log Status Codes are unique for each Log Agent.
You must be part of the Administrators role to configure Log Status Codes.
