wbemlogviewer(1M)

NAME

     wbemlogviewer - start WBEM Log Viewer

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/sadm/bin/wbemlogviewer

DESCRIPTION

     The wbemlogviewer utility starts the WBEM Log Viewer graphi-
     cal user interface, which enables administrators to view and
     maintain log records created by WBEM clients and  providers.
     The  WBEM  Log  Viewer displays a Login dialog box. You must
     log in as root or a user with write access to the root\cimv2
     namespace  to  view  and  maintain log files. Namespaces are
     described in wbemadmin(1M).

     Log events can have three severity levels.

        o  Errors

        o  Warnings

        o  Informational

     The WBEM log  file  is  created  in  the  /var/sadm/wbem/log
     directory,  with  the  name wbem_log. The first time the log
     file is backed up, it  is  renamed  wbem_log.1,  and  a  new
     wbem_log  file is created. Each succeeding time the wbem_log
     file is backed up, the file extension number of each  backup
     log  file  is increased by 1, and the oldest backup log file
     is removed if the limit, which in turn is specified  in  the
     log service settings, on the number of logfiles is exceeded.
     Older backup files have higher file extension  numbers  than
     more recent backup files.

     The log file is renamed with a .1 file extension  and  saved
     when one of the following two conditions occur:

        o  The current  file  reaches  the  specified  file  size
           limit.

        o  A WBEM client application uses the  clearLog()  method
           in  the  Solaris_LogService class to clear the current
           log file.

        o  A WBEM client application uses the  clearLog()  method
           in  the  Solaris_LogService class to clear the current
           log file.

        o  A user chooses Action->Back Up Now in the  Log  Viewer
           application.

     Help is displayed in the left panel of each dialog box. Con-
     text help is not displayed in the main Log Viewer window.

USAGE

     The WBEM Log Viewer  is  not  the  tool  for  a  distributed
     environment.
      It is used for local administration.

     The WBEM Log Viewer allows  you  to  perform  the  following
     tasks:

     View the logs

     Set properties of log files
           Click Action->Log File Settings to  specify  log  file
           parameters and the log file directory.

     Back up a log file
           Click Action->Back Up Now to back  up  and  close  the
           current log file and start a new log file.

     Open historical log files
           Click Action->Open Log File to open  a  backed-up  log
           file.

     Delete an old log file
           Open the file and then click Action->Delete Log  File.
           You can only delete backed-up log files.

     View log record details
           Double-click     a     log     entry     or      click
           View->Log  Entry  Details  to display the details of a
           log record.

     Sort the logs
           Click View->Sort By to sort displayed entries. You can
           also  click  any  column  heading to sort the list. By
           default, the log  entries  are  displayed  in  reverse
           chronological order (new logs first).
