filterlog(8)
NAME
  filterlog - Logs and reports system Correctable Read Data (CRD) memory
  errors on specific systems.

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/sbin/filterlog [-l] [-d crdlog] [-d crdlifetime] [-s crdlength #] [-s
  crdcount #] [-h]

OPTIONS
  -l  Logs or filters an entry from stdin. This option is used by the binary
      event-log daemon, binlogd.

  -d crdlog
      Dumps the contents of the CRD log file in text format.  Errors shown in
      the file are those recorded by the system since the last boot.

  -d crdlifetime
      Dumps the CRD lifetime log information in text format.

  -s crdlength #
      Used to set the CRD interval time in minutes. The default is 24 hours.

  -s crdcount #
      Used to set the CRD interval count.  The default is 50.

  -h  Prints a list of the command option options defined in this reference
      page.

DESCRIPTION
  This utility ensures that only genuine memory errors are reported to system
  log files on certain system types. The command filterlog is called directly
  by the binary event-log daemon, binlogd to filter system CRD (memory
  hardware) errors. CRD errors are logged according to user-definable
  parameters.  If it is determined that a genuine memory problem exists, an
  entry is passed to binlogd.  The error will then be written to the system's
  error log file and can be notified to the user through DECevent.

  The filterlog utility uses two variables to determine if a CRD error
  signifies a genuine memory hardware problem -- crdlength and crdcount. If
  crdcount number of errors occur during crdlength minutes, an entry is
  passed to binlogd.  The default settings are 50 errors in 24 hours (1440
  minutes).

  The filterlog utility reads the /etc/binlog.conf file to determine what log
  file should be used to record any events.  The default log file is
  /usr/adm/binary.crdlog.
