lseventlog

Use the lseventlog command to display a concise view of the system event log, or a detailed view of one entry from the log.

Syntax

 lseventlog  [  -filtervalue  attribute_value  ] [  -filtervalue?  ]   [  -delim  delimiter  ]   [  -nohdr  ]   [  -alert  { yes | no } ] [  -message  { yes | no } ] [  -monitoring  { yes | no } ] [  -expired  { yes | no } ] [  -fixed  { yes | no } ] [  -count  entry_limit ] [  -order  { date | severity } ] [ sequence_number ]

Parameters

-filtervalueattribute=value
(Optional) Specifies a list of one or more filters. Only objects with a value that matches the filter attribute value are returned. If a capacity is specified, the units must also be included.
Note: Some filters allow the use of a wildcard when you enter the command. The following rules apply to the use of wildcards on the CLI:
  • The wildcard character is an asterisk (*).
  • The command can contain a maximum of one wildcard.
  • When you use a wildcard, you must enclose the filter entry within double quotation marks (""), as follows:
    lseventlog -filtervalue "object_name=ob*"
-nohdr
(Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data in a concise style view, and for each item of data in a detailed style view. The -nohdr parameter suppresses the display of these headings.
Note: If there is no data to be displayed, headings are not displayed.
-delim delimiter
(Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width of each column is set to the maximum width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed, the data is separated from the header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid input for the -delim parameter is a 1-byte character. If you enter -delim : on the command line, the colon character (:) separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by the specified delimiter.
-alertyes | no
(Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with alert status.
-messageyes | no
(Optional) Includes events with message status.
-monitoringyes | no
(Optional) Includes events with monitoring status.
-expiredyes | no
(Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with expired status.
-fixedyes | no
(Optional) Includes (or excludes) events with fixed status.
-countentry_limit
(Optional) Indicates the maximum number of events to display.
-order date | severity
(Optional) Indicates what order the events must be in. Ordering by date displays the oldest events first. Ordering by severity displays the events with the highest severity first. If multiple events have the same severity, then they are ordered by date, with the oldest event displayed first.
The following list shows the order of severity, starting with the most severe:
  1. Unfixed alerts (sorted by error code; the lowest error code has the highest severity)
  2. Unfixed messages
  3. Monitoring events (sorted by error code; the lowest error code has the highest severity)
  4. Expired events
  5. Fixed alerts and messages
-filtervalue?
(Optional) Displays a list of valid filter attributes for the -filtervalueattribute=value parameter:
  • copy_id
  • error_code
  • event_count
  • event_id
  • fixed
  • last_timestamp
  • object_id
  • object_name
  • object_type
  • report_node
  • reporting_node_name
  • root_sequence_number
  • sequence_number status
sequence_number
(Optional) Indicates whether the command must display a full view of the event.

Description

This command displays a concise view of the system event log, or a detailed view of one entry from the log. You can sort the events and entries by severity or age.

The default values for included events are:
  • alert=yes
  • expired=no
  • fixed=no
  • message=yes
  • monitoring=no
lseventlog output provides the attribute values that can be displayed as output view data.
