NAME
nettladm — network tracing and logging administration manager
SYNOPSIS
/opt/nettladm/bin/nettladm
[-t|-l]
[-c
filter_file]
DESCRIPTION
The
nettladm
command is a tool used to administer network tracing and logging.
It provides an interactive user interface to the
nettl,
netfmt,
and
nettlconf
commands. The interface runs in either text terminal mode
or in a Motif graphical environment. To run
nettladm
using Motif windows set the
DISPLAY
environment variable to match the system name (for example,
DISPLAY=system:0.0
) prior to using the command.
The
nettladm
command starts a menu-driven program that makes it easy to perform
network tracing and logging tasks with only limited specialized
knowledge of HP-UX.
nettladm
is a self-guided tool, and context-sensitive
help is available at any point by pressing the f1 function key.
Options
nettladm
recognizes the following options:
- -l
Shortcut to enter the "Logging Subsystems" (logging) area.
This is the default.
- -t
Shortcut to enter the "Tracing Subsystems" (tracing) area.
- -c filter_file
Use the contents of
filter_file
as the default set of subsystem formatting criteria when creating
reports within the "Create Report" area.
The defaults can be overridden through the interface screens.
Global filters (those beginning with the word
FORMATTER)
and comments are ignored.
See
netfmt(1M)
for the description and syntax of
filter_file.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single and multibyte character code sets are supported in data;
single-byte character code sets are supported in file names.
WARNINGS
Changes to logging and tracing levels and states are not preserved
across system reboots or stops and restarts from outside of the
nettladm
command. Permanent changes must be made to the
/etc/nettlgen.conf
file using the
nettlconf
command. Note that changes to console logging and all logging
startup parameters are preserved.
Although the
nettladm
command allows the specification
of all log classes and all trace kinds for all subsystems,
many subsystems do not support all log classes and all trace kinds.
No error or warning will be issued
if a subsystem does not support a log class or trace kind.
Refer to the product documentation of the subsystem
for information on supported log classes and trace kinds.
The
nettladm
command reads the
/etc/nettlgen.conf
and
/var/adm/conslog.opts
files each time it is run (see
nettlgen.conf(4)).
If the files become corrupted,
this command will no longer be operational.
Currently
nettladm
is not supported on Release 11i Version 1.6.
DEPENDENCIES
nettladm
runs in an X Windows environment
as well as on the following kinds of terminals or terminal emulators:
HP-compatible terminal with programmable function keys and
on-screen display of function key labels.
