Logging Messages
Token Ring uses the nettl(1M) logging and tracing facility supplied with
HP-UX. Although this utility is also documented in manpages and other
documents, it is included here for the user’s convenience.
You may access the logging and tracing utility using either the graphical
user interface (GUI) version (nettladm) or the command line interface
(nettl/netfmt)
Features of the GUI version, which are now a part of your HP-UX
system, include:
• An interface which guides you through logging and tracing tasks.
• An interface which allows you to create and format reports.
• The capability to collect logging and tracing subsystem-specific
information.
• Report screens which are updated instantaneously with current
logging and tracing information by the subsystem.
• Context-sensitive on-line help.
To access the GUI version of the logging and tracing utility, run the
command below. Refer to the nettladm(1M) man page for information on
using the GUI version.
nettladm
Listed below are some example commands using the command line
interface. Refer to the nettl(1M) and netfmt(1M) manual (man) pages for
information on using the command line interface
• To examine the log file with cause and action descriptions:
netfmt -v -f /var/adm/nettl.LOG00
The -v option enables the reporting of available cause and action
descriptions for each log message. A sample Token Ring log message
using the -v option is shown below.
