displaylog command

This command displays CMM event log entries.

Note
  • See the Lenovo Flex System chassisCMM error messages for your Flex System chassis for a complete list of all non-device specific events and recommended actions, sorted by event ID. Device specific event information is in the documentation for the device.
  • When the CMM is set to Secure security mode, only secure file transfer methods, such as HTTPS and SFTP, can be used for tasks involving file transfer when the CMM is acting as a server. Unsecure file transfer protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, and TFTP, are disabled when the CMM is acting as a server when the security mode is set to Secure. Unsecure file transfer protocols remain available for a CMM acting as a client for all commands when the security mode is set to Secure.
  • For information about how to specify a URL for file transfer, see Specifying a URL for file transfer.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or displaylog command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the displaylog command.
