The mcs select command can also be used to view the matrix log. See the

PolyServe Matrix Server Command Reference for more information about

this command.

View Outstanding Alerts

The following command shows all outstanding alerts:

mx alert status [ --noHeaders] [--csv] [--showborder] [--severity

<values>]

The severity values are INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL. If you specify

more than one alert level, use commas to separate the levels. The

remaining options determine the format of the output. --noHeaders omits

column headers, --csv prints output in comma-separated format, and

--showborder displays borders in the output.

Windows Event Viewer

You can view the matrix events written to the Windows event log by

using the Windows Event Viewer. Select Start > Programs >

Administration Tools > Event Viewer, and then click on Matrix Server to

see the log messages. You can use the options on the Action menu to

manipulate the event log. Note that the Windows event log on a

particular server includes only the messages that were generated on that

server.

Insert a Message into the Matrix Log

When necessary, you can insert your own messages into the matrix event

log. In the log, the source of the messages will be set to “User” and the

Severity will be set to “Info.” The IDs assigned to the messages will be in

the range 39000-39999.
