NAME
nettladm - network tracing and logging administration manager
SYNOPSIS
/opt/nettladm/bin/nettladm
[-t-l][-c filter_file]
DESCRIPTION
The
nettladm command is a tool used to administer network tracing and logging. It provides an interac-
tive user interface to the nettl, netfmt, and nettlconf commands. The interface runs in either text terminal
mode or in a Motif graphical environment. To run
nettladm using Motif windows set the DISPLAY
environment variable to match the system name (e.g.,
DISPLAY=system:0.0) prior to using the com-
mand.
The
nettladm command starts a menu-driven program that makes it easy to perform network tracing
and logging tasks with only limited specialized knowledge of HP-UX.
nettladm is a self-guided tool, and
context-sensitive help is available at any point by pressing the f1 function key.
Options
nettladm recognizes the following options:
-l Shortcut to enter the ‘‘Logging Subsystems’’ (logging) area. This is the default.
-t Shortcut to enter the ‘‘Tracing Subsystems’’ (tracing) area.
-c filter_file Use the contents of filter_file as the default set of subsystem formatting criteria when creat-
ing reports within the ‘‘Create Report’’ area. The defaults can be overridden through the
interface screens. Global filters (those beginning with the word FORMATTER) and com-
ments are ignored. See netfmt(1M) for the description and syntax of filter_file.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported in data; single-byte character code sets are sup-
ported in file names.
WARNINGS
Changes to logging and tracing levels and states are not preserved across system reboots or stops and res-
tarts from outside of the
nettladm command. Permanent changes must be made to the
/etc/nettlgen.conf
file using the nettlconf command. Note that changes to console logging and
all logging startup parameters are preserved.
Although the
nettladm command allows the specification of all log classes and all trace kinds for all sub-
systems, many subsystems do not support all log classes and all trace kinds. No error or warning will be
issued if a subsystem does not support a log class or trace kind. Refer to the product documentation of the
subsystem for information on supported log classes and trace kinds.
The nettladm command reads the /etc/nettlgen.conf
and /var/adm/conslog.opts files
each time it is run (see nettlgen.conf(4)). If the files become corrupted, this command will no longer be
operational.
DEPENDENCIES
nettladm runs in an X Windows environment as well as on the following kinds of terminals or terminal
emulators:
• HP-compatible terminal with programmable function keys and on-screen display of function key
labels.
• VT-100
