How to check error logs?
What are the error logs in OpenVMS that needs to be checked? How to do it?
Thanks.

Re: How to check error logs?
we have biological error sensors, which do call us in case of errors ... :-)
The usual error logs are (list not complete):
- OPERATOR.LOG
usually in SYS$MANAGER, but may relocated with OPC$LOGFILE_NAME, is plain ASCII
- SHOW ERROR
if errors a increasing, further checking can be done depending on hardware and VMS version with ANAL/ERROR[/ELV], DIAGNOSE, SEA ...
- SHOW INTRUSION
any hackers?
- ACCOUNTING
I check this only in case of unexplainable process exits (using ACCOUNTING utility)
- AUDITING
We create summary reports for brief checks (using ANAL/AUDIT)
Help for the utilities is in the system managers documentation.

Re: How to check error logs?
For example, the operator log is written to SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG.
You can view the file using TYPE:
$ TYPE SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG
or
$ TYPE/PAGE SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG
Or you can search for certain errors using the SEARCH command:
$ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG "-E-"
$ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG "-F-"
The scope of the SEARCH output can be extended with the /WINDOW qualifier:
$ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG "-F-" /WINDOW=(2,1)

Re: How to check error logs?
Batch logs - use show queue/batch/all/full
it will show the path used for log files
Depending on what network software you are running, you may need to check log files in [tcpip$*]
Other useful information can be found in clue*.lis files
A good starting point would be to install
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/journal/v7/vms_check_tool.html
you could then customise it to include additional log files as required.

Re: How to check error logs?
I'm running OpenVMS V7.2-1H1, can VMS_check run on this OS version? The info was quite good.

Re: How to check error logs?
SHOW ERROR will show device errors logged since the system was booted. These errors are recorded in SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS.
To look at this file you need the DECevent utility.
