AIX > Administrator > Systems Management Reviewing AIX Error and Boot Logs July 2013 | by David Tansley Print aix errlogger AIX provides comprehensive logging of events—some are errors requiring attention and others are just notifications. For system administrators, tasked to make sure the system is running without major issues, logging provides http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/com.ibm.aix.cmds2/errclear.htm alerts or apprises them of events as they happen. AIX offers different logs depending on the action and when it occurred. These logs hold information on the boot-up process, console, hardware and system software events. It’s up to the system admin to take action on these events, because once AIX has published the log, its job is done. Logs, Logs, Logs AIX http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/aix/administrator/systemsmanagement/error_logs/ not only offers the errpt but also other error reporting logs. Using the alog command one can list and pick a log to view: # alog -L boot bosinst nim console cfg mdmplog lvmt lvmcfg dumpsymp When issues arise during the boot-up process, for example, and you’re not at the console, you can review the start-up process messages, particularly the boot and console messages. To list the available logs: alog -o -t For example, to view the console log: alog -o -t console Logging Your Own Entries The standard errpt list hardware or software events in AIX that have occurred. However, you might want a message generated and inserted into errpt after some user interaction, for instance, if a system admin has made a change. This allows the change notification to be visible via errpt. Like the logger command that writes to the system log (messages file), errlogger will write an operator notification entry to the error log. For example, having completed an AIX upgrade, you could post that to the error log, so other users could view it, like so: errlogger "AIX

It includes flags for selecting errors that match specific criteria. By using the default condition, you can display error log entries in the reverse order they occurred and were recorded. By using the - c (concurrent) flag, you can display errors as they occur. If the -i flag is not used with the errpt command, the error log file processed by errpt is the one specified in the error log configuration database. (To view the information in the error log configuration database, use the errdemon command.) The default summary report contains one line of data for each error. You can use flags to generate reports with different formats. Note: The errpt command does not perform error log analysis; for analysis, use the diag command. You can use the Web-based System Manager Devices application (wsm devices fast path) to run this command. You could also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit errpt fast path to run this command. Flags -a Displays information about errors in the error log file in detailed format. If used in conjunction with the - t flag, all the information from the template file is displayed. -c Formats and displays each of the rror entries concurrently, that is, at the time they are logged. The existing entries in the log file are displayed in the order in which they were logged. -d ErrorClassList Limits the error report to certain types of error records specified by the valid E
