NAME
nettladm - network tracing and logging administration manager
SYNOPSIS
/opt/nettladm/bin/nettladm
[-t-l][-c filter_file]
DESCRIPTION
The
nettladm command is a tool used to administer network tracing and logging. It provides an
interactive user interface to the nettl, netfmt
, and nettlconf commands. The interface runs in
either text terminal mode or in a Motif graphical environment. To run
nettladm using Motif windows
set the
DISPLAY environment variable to match the system name (for example,
DISPLAY=system :0.0)
prior to using the command.
The
nettladm command starts a menu-driven program that makes it easy to perform network tracing
and logging tasks with only limited specialized knowledge of HP-UX.
nettladm is a self-guided tool,
and context-sensitive help is available at any point by pressing the f1 function key.
Options
nettladm recognizes the following options:
-l Shortcut to enter the "Logging Subsystems" (logging) area. This is the default.
-t Shortcut to enter the "Tracing Subsystems" (tracing) area.
-c filter_file Use the contents of filter_file as the default set of subsystem formatting criteria when
creating reports within the "Create Report" area. The defaults can be overridden through
the interface screens. Global filters (those beginning with the word FORMATTER) and
comments are ignored. See netfmt (1M) for the description and syntax of filter_file .
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single and multibyte character code sets are supported in data; single-byte character code sets are sup-
ported in file names.
WARNINGS
Changes to logging and tracing levels and states are not preserved across system reboots or stops and res-
tarts from outside of the
nettladm command. Permanent changes must be made to the
/etc/nettlgen.conf
file using the nettlconf command. Note that changes to console logging and
all logging startup parameters are preserved.
Although the
nettladm command allows the specification of all log classes and all trace kinds for all
subsystems, many subsystems do not support all log classes and all trace kinds. No error or warning will
be issued if a subsystem does not support a log class or trace kind. Refer to the product documentation of
the subsystem for information on supported log classes and trace kinds.
The
nettladm command reads the /etc/nettlgen.conf
and /var/adm/conslog.opts files
each time it is run (see nettlgen.conf(4)). If the files become corrupted, this command will no longer be
operational.
Currently
nettladm is not supported on Release 11i Version 1.6.
DEPENDENCIES
nettladm runs in an X Windows environment as well as on the following kinds of terminals or terminal
emulators:
• HP-compatible terminal with programmable function keys and on-screen display of function key
labels.
• VT-100.
