EVENT LOG ON VMS
Hi Everyone,
Is / are they are logs etc that I could look at on a VMS 6.2 system to check events like failed disks etc and why they happened
I was thinking accounting.dat - is there any quick way / basic commands to interrogate this ?
Cheers

Re: EVENT LOG ON VMS
accountng.dat is not the right place. Best it can offer is a final error status code for a process that ran into an error.
Hardware errors should be recorded in SYS$ERRORLOG:ERRLOG.SYS
Current OpenVMS version put up ridiculous hurdles to read that file, but best I recall under 6.2, as you indicate, you can just use ANALYZE/ERROR. Check the HELP
Finally you may want to look at SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG
hth,
Hein
[Edited to use the full word ANALYZE instead of its first 4 charaters which were **bleep**-ed. assholes.]

Re: EVENT LOG ON VMS
Or, if your system was under maintenance at one time, you may have DECevent. ANALYZE/ERROR for V6.2 did the job but was a little basic. DECevent, at the time, had some slight advantages. Search for DECEVENT$STARTUP.COM or try using the DIAG command.
Both are exceptional when compared to the current solutions especially if your system is in a tightly secured environment or totally standalone.
