Reviewing /var/adm/
messages

The /var/adm/messages function enables you to review the content of the
var/adm/messages and t3 message log files from any host. Log entries are
displayed from the end of the file going back, showing the most recent alerts first.
The agent must be functioning properly on each host for the /var/adm/messages
function to work.

the corresponding /messages link. The descending list of /var/adm/messages
on the local host is displayed.
