evmviewer(8)evmviewer(8)NAMEevmviewer - View events
SYNOPSIS
Opening the viewer as a process: /usr/share/sys‐
man/menu/tasks/evmviewer/evmviewer [-ui ui_mode] [-display dis‐
play_name] [-filter filter_expr] [-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input
logfile]
Note
When running in a cluster, invoke the viewer using the SysMan Menu
method below. Invoking the viewer as a process from a cluster node may
result in an incomplete set of events being displayed.
Opening the viewer using the SysMan Menu: /usr/sbin/sysman -menu "View
events" [-ui ui_mode] [-display display_name] [-filter filter_expr]
[-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input logfile]
Opening the viewer using a SysMan Menu accelerator: /usr/sbin/sysman
[-accel] event_viewer [-ui ui_mode] [-display display_name] [-filter
filter_expr] [-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input logfile]
OPTIONS
Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are: Specifies
command line interface. Specifies graphical user interface. Specifies
the display screen on which evmviewer displays its window. If the dis‐
play option is not specified, the display screen specified by the DIS‐
PLAY environment variable is used. The display_name variable has the
format hostname:number. The default is :0. For more information, see
the X(1X) reference page. Initializes the display only with events
which match the filter_expr. See the EvmFilter(5) reference page for
the syntax of filter_expr. Attempts to connect to the EVM daemon on
the host hostname, rather than to the local daemon.
This option may be repeated to obtain events from several hosts.
If the name of the local host is included, a remote connection
to the local daemon is made.
If specified, use port_no for TCP communication with remote
clients. If not specified, use the evm port number found in
/etc/services. If not specified, and no entry is found in
/etc/services, use the reserved value of 619. Retrieve events
from the file logfile rather than from the event logs.
When operating in the gui mode, the evmviewer application also supports
all of the standard options described in the X(1X) reference page.
