Logtool Tutorial: Filters

A typical log generally contains a large number of entries. When you are troubleshooting a problem, only certain entries may be relevant. For example, you may want to see only I/O errors that occurred during a certain time period on a certain hardware path.

Logtool offers three different occasions for filtering the entries that are relevant to your task.

• Format filter. To filter entries during the formatting of a raw log file, select the Format command in the Filters Menu. (mstm: filter | FORMAT )

  xstm: Filters | Format
  mstm: Filters | Format
  cstm: format (ff).

• Raw display filter. To filter entries during the viewing of a raw log file:

  xstm: Filters | Display | Raw
