Running the Logtool
The Logtool is an interactive support tool. It enables you to monitor recoverable errors, such as the
single-bit memory errors and I/O errors. Information about errors is available in the system log
files. Logtool enables you to format the content of the system log files to improve readability. It also
enables you to set filters to receive information based on preferred settings.
Unlike other support tools, the Logtool is not device-specific and does not require you to select any
device.
