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: To display data from a set of system log files: Log on as MANAGER.SYS or with SM, OP or DI capability.
List the names of log files currently on your system
before invoking LOGTOOL: Invoke LOGTOOL:
SYSDIAG
DUI > RUN LOGTOOL
|
To get data from your current logfile enter the following
command to close it and open a new one: If necessary, display logfile record types. (You may skip
this step if you already are famililar with types) : 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. Exit the LOGTOOL utility:
