Alcatel-Lucent 5620 Service Aware Manager, Release 6-5
3HE 05723 TQZZA Edition 01 Troubleshooting Guide
GUI-based log filtering
The GUI provides a Filter Manager applet that lists the filters defined using the CLI
or GUI and allows filter creation, modification, and deletion. A GUI operator can
also use Filter Manager to test the regular expressions as filter match criteria.
To rapidly isolate a specific log entry or type of entry, you can create a temporary
filter, or quick filter, by entering a regular expression in the field below a column
header on a log tab. You can convert a quick filter to a saved filter for later use. A
drop-down menu above the Level column allows the immediate filtering of log
entries based on the debug level
A color that is specified as the highlight color for a filter is saved with the filter and
applies to all logs that use the filter.
6.3 LogViewer CLI
The CLI-based 5620 SAM LogViewer works like the UNIX tail command when in
display mode. The command mode has a multiple-level menu that you can display at
any time. You can specify a command or log file using the minimum number of
unique characters in the name, and can quickly toggle between the command and
display modes. LogViewer buffers new log entries while in command mode and
displays them when it returns to display mode.
The LogViewer CLI assigns a different color to each logging level, for example,
WARN or INFO, using standard ANSI color attributes that can be specified as CLI
startup options or configured through the GUI. The CLI also supports the use of
filters, plugins, and quick links.
6.4 LogViewer GUI procedures
