To Use EVLOG
You can run EVLOG using default options or you can runEVLOG interactively
to select and modify specific options. Instructions for each run mode
follow. The options are described in the remainder of this chapter.
To Run EVLOG Using Default Options
Follow the steps below to format a host-based X.25 log file usingthe
default options.
1. Copy the file that you want to format to a different file name.
(Hewlett-Packard recommends that you treat log files as read-only
files. Copying to a new file name allows you to format the new
file without modifying the original log file.)
2. At the MPE/iX prompt, enter the command:
:evlog logfilename
where logfilename is the name of the file created in step 1.
These steps will cause the entire log file to be formatted with default
options.
To Run EVLOG Interactively
Follow the steps below to formata host-based X.25 log file, to select
options:
1. Copy the file that you want to format to a different file name.
(Hewlett-Packard recommends that you treat log files as read-only
files. Copying to a new file name allows you to format the new
file without modifying the original log file.)
2. At the MPE/iX prompt, enter either of the following commands:
:evlog
or
:evlog logfilename,n
where logfilename is the name of the file created in step 1 and n
is any non-zero PARM. For example
:evlog myfile,2
The following display will appear:

To Select Formatting Options.
To select the formatting option that you want to change when running
EVLOG interactively, type the option number at the prompt. EVLOG will
then prompt you to enter additional information. The information
required depends on the option selected. Brackets displaying the current
setting of the option are included in the prompt. Each of the options is
described below with each description including an example of the
option's use. User input is underlined.
NOTE The formatter will use default values for any options not specified
by the user. The defaultvalues are listed in parentheses beside
each of the options.
Option 1: File.
Use this option to open an event log file, if you did not specify a log
file name on the command line. Whenever a file is opened, the File
option will reflect file name and the number of records in the file. In
the example below, the log file, logfile1, contains 15 records.

Option 2: Records.
Use this optionto select which record numbers to display. In the example
below, the user chooses to display records 2 through 5 of the opened log
file. Notice that the Records option displays the records that were
selected.

Option 3: Event Tapes.
Use this option to restrictthe records displayed to those of a specific
event type. In the example below, the user chooses to display only DTC
events. Following the selection, the Event types option displays a 3, to
signify the selection of event type 3, DTC events. (Note that not all of
the event types are meaningful for log files on host-based systems.)

Use this option to restrictthe records displayed to those of a particular
subsystem. In the example below, the user selects the NMP subsystem.
Following the selection, the Subsystem option displays a 4, to signify
the selection of subsystem 4, NMP. (Note that not all of the subsystem
types are meaningful for log files on host-based systems.)

Option 5: Event Codes.
Use this optionto specify a range of event codesto be displayed. To
specify the codes, you may enter eitherthe event code numbersor the
mnemonics listed in the prompt display. (The Options display will list
the event code numbers whether you select by number or by mnemonic.) In
the example below, the user chooses X.25 events by entering the mnemonic
X25. Notice that the event code numbers are shown in the resulting
display.

Option 6: Logical Channel Identifier (LCI).
Use this option to restrict the records displayedto those for a
specificLogical Channel Identifier. In the example below, the user
presses [RETURN] to accept the default of displaying all records.

Option 7: Virtual Port Number (VPN).
Use this option to restrict the records displayed to those for a
particular virtual port number(VPN). (Some PAD events containthe VPN but
not the corresponding LCI; some X.25 events contain the LCI but not the
VPN. However, some X.25 events contain both, so usually you can logically
tie the two together.) In the example below, the user presses [RETURN]
to accept the default of displaying all records.

Option 8: Time/Offset Format.
There are four typesof timestampsin event logrecords. They are:
HOST time The time the event was logged on the host (HP
3000). Found in event type 3 (DTC).
PC time The time the event was logged on the OV DTC MGR PC.
(This type is not meaningful for log files created
on systems using host-based network management.)
DTC CPU time The time the event was sent from the DTC. Found in
event type 3 (DTC).
DTC SNP time The time the event occurred on the SNP. Found in
event type 3 (DTC)
Use this option to choose whether one of these timestamp types will be
displayed under the column labeled "Time/offset" or whether the offset
will be from the beginning of the file. In the example that follows, the
user chooses to display the time that events were logged on the host.

Option 9: Time/Offset.
Use this optionto specify a range
of time to be displayed. This option is available only for the HOST
time. In the example below, the user selects a time range from October 4
through October 5 of 1991 by responding to the series of prompts. Note
that, as usual, the current settings are displayed in brackets in the
prompts.
