We currently print all console messages from our HP3000 to Epson
printers thru the 'Log Bottom' soft key. We need these console messages
when researching problems or answering questions, or for monitoring
other problems. We keep them for several weeks.
I am looking for other solutions (hardware and/or software) to be able
to save console messages to a file. Our system consoles are the
HP700/9x types, which do not have disc drives.
Are there other technologies/products available out there that
can save console messages to a file?
And the <plug> solution is: VESOFT's MPEX and VEAUDIT.
CONSOLE messages are already stored in your system log files as log
record type 15/115 (15 is the MPE/V format number, MPE/iX adds 100 to the
record types to allow for extended formats). Usually, however, this log
event isn't turned on, so you may need to reconfigure your system's
logging events then do a restart (although I believe there is an AIF
available that will allow you to turn on and off certain log events
without a restart)
The combination of MPEX and VEAUDIT gives you a new command: VEAUDIT
LISTLOG <report>. This command lists the contents of system log files.
"<report>" can be one of three reports: CONSOLE, FCLOSE, and LOGON.
LOGON and CONSOLE should be fairly self explanetory -- they show a
review of all LOGON records and CONSOLE records respectively. The FCLOSE
report is a little more esoteric, but useful for determining "who touched
this file last".... (or, more importantly, who PURGED this file...)
</plug>
In addition to the VESOFT MPEX/VEAUDIT combo, HP provides utilities that
let you look at log files, but the format is barely useable for this type
of analysis. For CONSOLE messages specifically, however, it is
relatively trivial to write a program to read the log files and
extract/format/print just these log events. (relatively trivial to, say,
brain surgery... :)
