NAME

  evmviewer - View events


SYNOPSIS

  Opening the viewer as a process:

  /usr/share/sysman/menu/tasks/evmviewer/evmviewer [-ui ui_mode] [-display
  display_name] [-filter filter_expr] [-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input
  logfile]

				     Note

       When running in a cluster, invoke the viewer using the SysMan Menu
       method below. Invoking the viewer as a process from a cluster node may
       result in an incomplete set of events being displayed.

  Opening the viewer using the SysMan Menu:

  /usr/sbin/sysman -menu  "View events" [-ui ui_mode] [-display display_name]
  [-filter filter_expr] [-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input logfile]

  Opening the viewer using a SysMan Menu accelerator:

  /usr/sbin/sysman [-accel] event_viewer [-ui  ui_mode] [-display
  display_name] [-filter  filter_expr] [-host hostname[:port_no]]... [-input
  logfile]


OPTIONS

  -ui ui_mode
      Specifies the user interface to be invoked. The choices are:

      cui     Specifies command line interface.

      gui     Specifies graphical user interface.

  -display display_name
      Specifies the display screen on which evmviewer displays its window. If
      the display option is not specified, the display screen specified by
      the DISPLAY environment variable is used.	 The display_name variable
      has the format hostname:number. The default is :0. For more
      information, see the X(1X) reference page.

  -filter filter_expr
      Initializes the display only with events which match the filter_expr.
      See the EvmFilter(5) reference page for the syntax of filter_expr.

  -host hostname[:port_no]
      Attempts to connect to the EVM daemon on the host hostname, rather than
      to the local daemon.

      This option may be repeated to obtain events from several hosts. If the
      name of the local host is included, a remote connection to the local
      daemon is made.

      If specified, use port_no for TCP communication with remote clients. If
      not specified, use the evm port number found in /etc/services. If not
      specified, and no entry is found in /etc/services, use the reserved
      value of 619.

  -input logfile
      Retrieve events from the file logfile rather than from the event logs.

  When operating in the gui mode, the evmviewer application also supports all
  of the standard options described in the X(1X) reference page.


OPERANDS

  None
