66 omreport: Viewing System Status

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.

NOTE: If the Alert log or Command log displays invalid XML data (such as when

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

resolve the issue type: omconfig system alertlog action=clear or

omconfig system cmdlog action=clear. If you need to retain the log

information for future reference, save a copy of the log before clearing. See

"Commands for Clearing Logs" on page 142 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

To view the contents of the ESM log, type:

omreport system esmlog

omreport servermodule esmlog

Overall Health Status of the ESM Log

When you type omreport system esmlog or omreport servermodule esmlog,

the ESM log 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.
