Use the Getting Started Panel

If you’re new to using Link, then you can familiarize with the following features by using the Getting Started Panel:
  1. On the results table header, click the Open the Getting Started panel (open getting started panel) icon to open the Getting Started Panel.
  2. On the Getting Started tab, click the Show Tips link to view some useful tips to explore options on the visualization of the Link feature.

    Click Hide Tips.

  3. Click on the Sample Link Commands tab. View and edit some of the sample link commands.

    You can select to Run a link command that’s listed under Available Sample Link Commands or View the link commands listed under All Sample Link Commands.

  4. Click on the Link Builder tab, and run the wizard to select the Log Source, select up to four fields in Group By, select up to two fields in Analyze Fields, and click Run Link to build custom queries. You can select multiple fields at once before running the query, thus saving time from having the drag and drop operation to complete the background query for every field.

    Click Clear to clear the selection.

For example, if you select EBS Concurrent Request Logs - Enhanced log source from the available sample link command and run it, you can obtain the following information:

  • Requests that have already completed execution within the selected time window

  • Currently running requests that show anomalous run times

  • Ability to create an Alert to identify specific requests that took anomalous run time to complete, or still running but with anomalous run time
