readlog command

This command displays the IMM event logs.

Use the readlog command to display the IMM event log entries. Five event logs are displayed at a time. The entries are displayed from the most recent to the oldest.
  • readlog displays the first five entries in the event log, starting with the most recent, on its first execution, and then the next five for each subsequent call.
  • readlog -a displays all entries in the event log, starting with the most recent.
  • readlog -f resets the counter and displays the first 5 entries in the event log, starting with the most recent.
  • readlog -date date displays event log entries for the specified date, specified in mm/dd/yy format. It can be a pipe (|) separated list of dates.
  • readlog -sev severity displays event log entries for the specified severity level (E, W, I). It can be a pipe (|) separated list of severity levels.
  • readlog -i ip_address sets the IPv4 or IPv6 IP address of the TFTP or SFTP server where the event log is saved. The -i and -l command options are used together to specify the location.
  • readlog -l filename sets the file name of the event log file. The -i and -l command options are used together to specify the location.
  • readlog -pn port_number displays or sets the port number of the TFTP or SFTP server (default 69/22).
  • readlog -u username specifies the user name for the SFTP server.
  • readlog -pw password specifies the password for the SFTP server.
