To Review UPS Activity Recorded in the System Log File
UPS Monitor/iX status and alarm messages are recorded in the system log files as event number 148. You can
use the LOGTOOL utility to review entries in the system log file about the performance and condition of UPS
devices on your system. To do so, follow these steps:
1. List the names of the log files currently on your system. At the MPE prompt, enter:
:LISTFILE LOG@.PUB.SYS
Note the number of the last log file in the list (other than LOGDCC). You will use it in step 5.
2. Start the system diagnostic utility. At the MPE prompt, enter:
:SYSDIAG
3. Run the LOGTOOL utility. Enter:
DUI >RUN LOGTOOL
4. To review the current logfile, use the SWITCHLOG command to close it and open a new one.
DUI >SWITCHLOG
5. List the UPS-related messages (which are recorded as system log event number 148) in the log file that
you want to review. For example, if the last log file displayed with the LISTFILE command was
LOG00017, enter:
DUI >LIST LOG=17;TYPE=148
Or, if the last log file was LOG00017 and you then issued the SWITCHLOG command, to see the most recent
log file you would enter:
DUI >LIST LOG=18;TYPE=148
In a moment, you will see the contents of the system log files for event 148, which stores UPS-related
messages. If event 148 was disabled, you are informed that no messages are found.
