Creating and consolidating log files set using Command Line Interface

Creating Sets

Use the following format to create sets using the Command Line Interface:

>SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER <servername> -CREATESET <setname> -HOSTNAMES <partition names>

where:

-SERVER

Specifies the server on which the logs have to be consolidated.

-CREATESET

Specifies the set name.

Note: You can use underscore to separate the set name and not space as it is not compatible with the Command Line Interface.

-HOSTNAMES

Specifies partition name. You can specify either a single partition or multiple partitions.

Note: For multiple partitions, separate the partition names using a space.

Examples

The following examples state the different scenarios of executing the command:

Creating a set with a single partition

SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER server_name –CREATESET set_name -HOSTNAMES partition_name

Creating a set with multiple partitions

SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER server_name -CREATESET set_name -HOSTNAMES partition_name1 partition_name2 partition_name3

Note: If the host name does not exist on the server the name is discarded and not added to the list.

Consolidating Log Files Set

Use the following format to consolidate log files set:

>SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER <servername> -SETCONSOLIDATE <set names>  -ST <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MIL> -ET <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MIL> -PATH <Path> -FNAME <file name>

where:

-SERVER

Specifies the server on which the logs have to be consolidated.

-SETCONSOLIDATE

Specifies the set that has to be consolidated. You can specify either a single set or multiple sets.

Note: For multiple sets, separate the set names using a space.

-ST

Specifies the start date, and start time of the consolidate logs in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MIL.

-ET

Specifies the end date, and end time of the consolidate logs in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.MIL.

-PATH

Specifies the path where the consolidated log set is created. It is an optional parameter. If the parameter is null or the switch is not specified, the default path, C:\ProgramData\Unisys\Operations Sentinel\LOG\ConsolidatedLog is used.

-FNAME

Specifies the name of the consolidated file.

Examples

The following examples state the different scenarios of executing the command:

Consolidating a single set

SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER server_name -SETCONSOLIDATE set_name  -ST 2016-11-29 09:41:06.306 -ET 2016-11-29 15:23:06.152 -PATH "C:\\TESTFOLDER" -FNAME Test.slg

Consolidating multiple sets

SpLogViewer.exe -SERVER server_name -SETCONSOLIDATE set_name1 set_name2 set_name3 -ST 2016-11-29 09:41:06.306 -ET 2016-11-29 15:23:06.152 -PATH "C:\\TEST FOLDER" -FNAME Test.slg

Notes:

Creation of sets through command line will overwrite the existing sets without warning.
Set names are case sensitive.
If a log-file with a specific date and time or name is not found during consolidation, the error message is logged in the traces and no popup is displayed.
