Formatting Host-Based X.25 Log Files
The EVLOG Formatter
The EVLOG Formatter
The EVLOG formatter provides a user interface that is similar to the
NMDUMP interface with options set in the same manner as for
NMDUMP. EVLOG also provides some filtering capability, including
filtering on host-based time. See the descriptions of formatting options
later in this chapter.
NOTE This formatter is only intended to be used on log files with X.25 and
PAD events. Use the NMDUMP formatter to format other types of
logging.
EVLOG Limitations
You should be aware of the following limitations when using the
EVLOG formatter:
• EVLOG does not perform error checking when it opens the message
catalog (EVCAT).
• EVLOG does not format the PC event time.
• EVCAT messages for events other than X.25 or PAD events may be
truncated or unreadable.
• The first 14 characters of EVCAT messages are shown for primary
events.
• The first 25 characters of EVCAT messages are shown for secondary
events.
• The first six characters of the DTC name are shown; domain/org are
not shown.
• The first 25 characters of hostname (events 3604/3605) are shown.
• The first 25 characters of diagnostic text (event 3685) are shown.
