Errlog.sys and console display.

Douglass Anderson — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 12:45:57 GMT

Easy question probably.

In VMS 7.3.2:

1) How do I disable informational messages coming to the console?

2) How do I best view the ERRLOG.SYS ? it has control characters in it and the TYPE command goofs up my screen.

1. The VMS standard answer "it depends." What messages do you want to disable? Some are configuration options, for example telnet or ftp connection attempts.

2. The error log requires additional utilities to view. Depending on your hardware you'll want to either user "ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV" see http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/6048/6048pro_002.html#elv_chap.

You may also need to install WEBES, http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/ for additional details, especially with newer storage.

I am doing ping and snmp traps to check if the server is alive and bring back disk information.

To disable SNMP OPCOM messages see section 14.6.7, Disabling SNMP OPCOM Messages, in the TCPIP Services for OpenVMS Management manual at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732final/6526/6526pro_035.html#dis_snmp_opcom

If you want to disable opcom message then you enter the command $reply/disable.

And you also have to load a layered product

DIAA (i.e. DECEVENT) to see the output of errlog.sys file

the command is

$DIAG/TRANS/SINCE sys$errorlog:errorlg.sys

Yes, that should work nicely.

And now that leads me to my next question and I will save that for the next thread.
