Saving the Events Log
You can save the events in the current event buffer to a file for later retrieval.
Enter the following.
save log
<vol>
:
<log_file>
<vol>
is the volume on which to store the file.
<log_file> is the name of the file you are creating to store the events.
We recommend that you use the .log file extension when creating log files.
You can verify that the log file is saved by entering the
dir
<vol>
:
command.
When displaying a previously saved log file, you can use the same optional
arguments as you can to display a current log file. (See the next section, “Saving
the Events Log Automatically,” for instructions.)
Another option is to limit the event types you save to a log file. When you display
the log file after saving it, only those event types you saved are displayed. Enter
the following command to limit the event types you save to a log file:
save log
<vol>
:
<log_file> [
-d
<date> ] [
-t
<time> ] [
-e
<entity> ] [
-f
<severity> ]
[
-s
<slot_ID> ]
See the previous section for a description of the optional arguments.
Caution:
The system automatically overwrites any file on the volume that has
the same file name. To avoid overwriting an existing file, display a list of the
volume’s contents (with the
dir
<vol> : command) and determine the file names
already in use.
Note:
The
save log
command does not clear events from memory. See
“Clearing Events
” on page 6-14.
