5.6.2 Manual Analysis
Manual analysis is the user-initiated process of selecting a binary event log file for immediate processing using either the CLI command or the web interface (see Chapter 6).
The wsea ana command performs manual analysis as well as filtered manual analysis on a binary event log file, which can be the system event log, another log from the same system, or a log from a different system:
wsea ana [input inputfile] [out | outhtml outputfile]Filtered Manual Analysis—It is possible to create a tailored log file using filters (see Section 5.9 Creating New Binary Event Log Files) and then manually analyze the new file; however, be aware that this can result in incomplete or invalid analysis due to missing data that was filtered out.
To perform manual analysis with another syntax, see Appendix E.
By default, manual analysis processes the system event log. If you want to process a different binary log file, you must use the input keyword and specify the input file. See Section 5.10.1 for more information on input files.
By default, output from manual analysis is displayed on the screen. To save output to a file, use either the out or the outhtml keyword and provide a file name. See Section 5.10.2 for more information on output files.
