Monitoring
Monitoring with log messages
It is possible to monitor nevisDetect, its components and plug-ins based on log messages. This chapter describes the relevant log messages per nevisDetect component.
These log messages also appear in the nevisDetect web application, in the Application monitoring view of the Status section. The Application monitoring view provides detailed information on all nevisDetect components and all available plug-ins. For more information, see Status section. Currently only messages of the INFO severity category are described.
