NAME

evmviewer − View events

SYNOPSIS

Opening the viewer as a process: /usr/share/sysman/menu/tasks/evmviewer/evmviewer [−ui ui_mode] [−display display_name] [−filter filter_expr] [−host hostname[:port_no]]... [−input logfile]

Note

When running in a cluster, invoke the viewer using the SysMan Menu method below. Invoking the viewer as a process from a cluster node may result in an incomplete set of events being displayed. 

Opening the viewer using the SysMan Menu: /usr/sbin/sysman −menu  "View events" [−ui ui_mode] [−display display_name] [−filter filter_expr] [−host hostname[:port_no]]... [−input logfile]

Opening the viewer using a SysMan Menu accelerator: /usr/sbin/sysman [−accel] event_viewer [−ui  ui_mode] [−display display_name] [−filter filter_expr] [−host hostname[:port_no]]... [−input logfile]

OPTIONS

−ui ui_mode
Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are:

cuiSpecifies command line interface. 

guiSpecifies graphical user interface. 

−display display_name
Specifies the display screen on which evmviewer displays its window. If the display option is not specified, the display screen specified by the DISPLAY environment variable is used.  The display_name variable has the format hostname:number. The default is :0. For more information, see the X(1X) reference page. 

−filter filter_expr
Initializes the display only with events which match the filter_expr. See the EvmFilter(5) reference page for the syntax of filter_expr. 

−host hostname[:port_no]
Attempts to connect to the EVM daemon on the host hostname, rather than to the local daemon. 

This option may be repeated to obtain events from several hosts. If the name of the local host is included, a remote connection to the local daemon is made. 

If specified, use port_no for TCP communication with remote clients. If not specified, use the evm port number found in /etc/services. If not specified, and no entry is found in /etc/services, use the reserved value of 619. 

−input logfile
Retrieve events from the file logfile rather than from the event logs. 

When operating in the gui mode, the evmviewer application also supports all of the standard options described in the X(1X) reference page. 

OPERANDS
