Menu "Log File Queue"

The Log File Queue menu

contains three sections:
  • ETL Process State: In the first window the current state of the ETL service is displayed.
  • Log File Queue: The log file queue shows the current import of log files from all services that deliver data

    allows you to monitor the log file import from your services to Process Mining.

    In section Log File Upload

    :Administration users

    you can also upload log files manually

    via this window

    Starting and Stopping the ETL

    Image Removed

    In the window ETL Process State administration users have also the option to start and stop the current action of the ETL service.

    • PressImage Removedto (re-)start the ETL service.
    • Press Image Removed to stop the ETL service. The service will stop when the current import is finished.

    If an error occurs during the import, this import process is terminated with an error. The erroneous import is not discarded to block the start of the next import. This forces the administrator to correct the error or its cause (for example the database down or else).

    In case an error occurred, two new buttons will appear in the ETL Process State window:

    • Press Retry Image Removed to move the process back to the step where the error occurred. This is useful, for example, if the process encountered the error when deleting old data but the data should definitely be deleted before new data is imported.
    • Press Ignore  Image Removed to discard the erroneous import. A new import process is started with the next file waiting to be imported.

    Monitoring the Log File Queue

    The list of uploaded log files in the Log File Queue section is updated every two seconds:

    Image Removed

    The following information can be found in the list:

    Column NameContent#Number in the current waiting list.IDIdentifier of the import. Specifies the import sequence.Manually queuedShows whether the upload was triggered manually (true) or automatically (false).HostName of the host on which the service is running from which the log data originates.ServiceName of the service that provides the data.PortNumber of the service port.

    Import File

    Name of the import file. The import file contains the delta between the original log file and the last import file.Log File

    Name of the original log file. The log file contains the complete log data.

    Stopping Automatic Upload

    The data is retrieved by the ETL service and is then uploaded to be available for analysis in Process Mining. To avoid processing large numbers of already processed data, only the delta between the original log file and the last import file is uploaded. This keeps the log files to import small and easier to process. As a result, the list in the Log File Queue section can change very quickly, which makes it difficult to filter the list.

    The Stop Updating the List button is available to enable administrators to filter the list in a meaningful way. As soon as you pressed this button, automatic updating of the log file queue is stopped. This is also indicated by the new name of the button: Continue Updating the List. Now you are able to filter the list in its current state:

    When you are finished, press the button to enable automatic update of the list again.

    For further information about the filter options see page Filtering > Filtering the Log File Queue.
