File information on the system !

[Ivan Azuara]

Hi !

I was checking some logs on the system but i can??t see the content of these files, the path is the next:

/var/opt/perf/datafiles

and the files are:

logappl ---> awk program text
logdev ---> awk program text
logglob ---> awk program text
logindx ---> awk program text
logproc ---> awk program text
logtran ---> awk program text

How can i see the content of these files ?.

Best Regards !

To see the contents of those files, you really need to use PerfView. Even though it says that those files are 'awk program text', they are really data files that are created by the MeasureWare product.

You can NOT look at those files with 'cat', 'more' or any of the other commands.

Use the extract utility provided with measureware. it reads these very logs.

Fairly easy to use. use export to write the displayed logs to flat files.
