Event Messages

When an event occurs (for example, a scheduled report returns errors), JasperReports Server sends the owner of the job a notification message. You can browse these messages to troubleshoot report scheduling problems in the server. For example, you can determine that a job fails because its data source configuration uses incorrect credentials.

A common cause of the error message indicating that the job failed to execute is an incorrectly configured mail server. The mail server must be manually configured after installation in order for users to send email notifications.

The Messages page displays the list of events logged for the current user.
