Commands for Viewing Logs

You can use the omreport system or omreport servermodule command to

view logs: the alert log, the command log, and the hardware or ESM log.

XML data generated for the selection is not well-formed), to clear the log and

resolve the issue."

omconfig system alertlog action=clear" or

omconfig system cmdlog action=clear" resolves the issue. If

you need to retain the log information for future reference, save a copy of the log

before clearing. See "Commands for Clearing Logs" for more information about

clearing logs.

To view the contents of the alert log, type:

omreport system alertlog

omreport servermodule alertlog

To view the contents of the command log, type:

omreport system cmdlog

omreport servermodule cmdlog

Overall Health Status of the ESM Log

When you type omreport system esmlog or omreport servermodule esmlog,

the Embedded Systems Management (ESM) report displays. The first line of

the report reflects the overall health of the system hardware. For example,

Health: OK means that less than 80 percent of the space allotted for the

ESM log is occupied by messages. If 80 percent or more of the allotted space

for the ESM log is occupied, the following caution appears:

Health: Non-Critical

If a caution appears, resolve all warning and critical severity conditions, and

then clear the log.
