Configuring Moab for event logging

The Viewpoint Event Log page lets users and administrators view Moab event information (for more information, see About event log). This information is pulled by MWS and stored in the events.log file. You can configure MWS logging settings (for example, causing the events.log file to roll based on a time window or file size threshold). For more information, see the "Events" section of the Moab Web Services Reference Guide.

In order for Moab to send event information to MWS, you will need to make a few configuration changes to Moab. These steps explain what you must do.

1. Set the PUSHEVENTSTOWEBSERVICE parameter to TRUE.
2. Use the EVENTLOGWSURL parameter to specify your web services event log URL. For example:
