Operation
To invoke LOGTOOL enter:
SYSDIAG
DUI > RUN LOGTOOL
For detailed information on any command enter HELP followed by the
command name. For example, to see information about the LIST command,
enter:
LOGTOOL> HELP LIST
To display data from a set of system log files:
1. Log on as MANAGER.SYS or with SM, OP or DI capability.
2. List the names of log files currently on your system before
invoking LOGTOOL:
LISTFILE LOG@.PUB.SYS
3. Invoke LOGTOOL:
SYSDIAG
DUI > RUN LOGTOOL
4. To get data from your current logfile enter the following command
to close it and open a new one:
LOGTOOL> SWITCHLOG
5. If necessary, display logfile record types. (You may skip this
step if you already are famililar with types) :
LOGTOOL> TYPES
6. Display the analysis for specified logfiles as a formatted list.
SYSDIAG>LIST LOG=9/14,17,20,22;TYPE=111,146
You may enter the LOG parameter as a range of numbers such as
9/14, as a string of numbers such as 17,20,22, or as a combination
range and string. (In this example, LOGTOOL will analyze logfiles
LOG0009 through LOG0014 and LOG0017 and LOG0020 and LOG0022.)
The TYPE parameter specifies the event types you want analyzed.
(In the example, types 111, I/O errors, and type 146, maintenance
requests, was specified.)
If you do not wish to see the analysis on your terminal screen,
but prefer to write the records to an output file, you would use
the ;OUTFILE parameter as follows:
SYSDIAG>LIST LOG=9/14,17,20,22;OUTFILE=MYFILE;TYPE=111,146
In this example, the output file MYFILE. You may choose any name
so long as it begins with an alphabetic character. LOGTOOL writes
the output file to the DIAG group of the SYS account. You may use
any HP3000 text editor to examine the output file. You may also
copy it with the COPY command or the FCOPY utility.
7. Exit the LOGTOOL utility:
LOGTOOL> EXIT
DUI > EXIT
