DESCRIPTION

The getlog command displays extracts from one or more log files (UNIX) or log entries (Windows). Run getlog -inquire to return a list of the available logs.

NOTE: If the host for which you are trying to view logs is having problems, you may have to

UNIX-Go to the log directory (/var/adm/atria/log) and use standard commands to look at the log files

Windows-Open the Windows NT Event Viewer to view the log entries

Attache-Using getlog

When a command fails because of an error on the helper host, if the helper is still active, you can use getlog on the client to fetch the helper error messages.

RESTRICTIONS

None.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

DISPLAYING ENTRIES GRAPHICALLY. Default: Entries are displayed in the current command window.

-g·raphical: Starts a log browser.

SPECIFYING LOG EXTRACTS. Default: Displays the last 10 lines for the specified logs (equivalent to specifying -last 10).

-las·t [ #_lines ]: Gets the last #_lines lines for the specified logs. The default value of #_lines is 10.
-fu·ll: Gets the complete contents of the specified logs.
-sin·ce date-time
-aro·und date-time [ #_minutes ]: The -since option gets log entries made since date-time. The -around option gets log entries #_minutes minutes either side of date-time. The default value of #_minutes is 10. If you specify either of these options for an unformatted log file, getlog prints an error. (getlog -inquire indicates unformatted logs.)
: The date-time argument can have any of the following formats:
: date.time | date | time | now
where:
: Specify time in 24-hour format, relative to the local time zone. If you omit the time, the default value is 00:00:00. If you omit date, the default is today. If you omit the century, year, or a specific date, the most recent one is used. Specify UTC if you want to resolve the time to the same moment in time regardless of time zone. Use the plus (+) or minus (-) operator to specify a positive or negative offset to the UTC time. If you specify UTC without hour or minute offsets, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is used. (Dates before January 1, 1970 Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) are invalid.)

SPECIFYING WHICH HOST'S LOGS TO DISPLAY. Default for ClearCase and Attache: Get the current host's log files. These options are not applicable to ClearCase LT, where the host is always the ClearCase LT server host.

-hos·t hostname: Gets logs from hostname.
-cvi·ew: Gets logs from the current view's view host.
-tag view-tag: Gets logs from the view server host of the specified view.
-vob pname-in-vob: Gets logs from the VOB server host of the specified VOB.

SPECIFYING THE LOGS TO DISPLAY. Default: None. You must specify one or more log names, -all to view all logs, or -inquire to return the list of available logs.

-inq·uire: Returns the list of available logs, which can vary with the host's installed product set and configuration. Unformatted logs are annotated with the string (unformatted).
-a·ll: Displays every available log file.
log-name ...: Specifies one or more logs of interest. Use -inquire to list valid log names.

EXAMPLES

The UNIX examples in this section are written for use in csh. If you use another shell, you may need to use different quoting and escaping conventions.

The Windows examples that include wildcards or quoting are written for use in cleartool interactive mode. If you use cleartool single-command mode, you may need to change the wildcards and quoting to make your command interpreter process the command appropriately.

In cleartool single-command mode, cmd-context represents the UNIX shell or Windows command interpreter prompt, followed by the cleartool command. In cleartool interactive mode, cmd-context represents the interactive cleartool prompt. In Attache, cmd-context represents the workspace prompt.

Return the list of available logs.

cmd-context getlog -inquire vobsnap ClearCase VOB snapshot log vobrpc ClearCase vobrpc_server log vob_scrubber ClearCase vob scrubber log (unformatted) vob ClearCase vob_server log view ClearCase view_server log ...

Display the last 10 lines of the current host's vob_server log. For information about vob_server, see the Administrator's Guide.
