dumperrlog
Use the dumperrlog command to dump the contents of the event log to a text file.
Syntax
Parameters
- -prefix filename_prefix
- (Optional) A file name is created from the prefix and
a time stamp, and has the following format: prefix_NNNNNN_YYMMDD_HHMMSSwhere NNNNNN is the node front panel name.
Note: If the -prefix parameter is not supplied, the dump is directed to a file with a system-defined prefix of errlog.
Description
When run with no parameters, this command dumps the system event log to a file using a system-supplied prefix of errlog, which includes the node ID and time stamp. When a file name prefix is provided, the same operation is performed but the details are stored in the dumps directory within a file with a name that starts with the specified prefix.
A maximum of ten event-log dump files are kept on the system. When the 11th dump is made, the oldest existing dump file is overwritten.
Event log dump files are written to /dumps/elogs. The contents of this directory can be viewed using the lsdumps command.
Files are not deleted from other nodes until you issue the cleardumps command.
