Analyzing the error log using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to analyze the error log.

Perform the following steps to analyze the error log:

Issue any of the following CLI commands to list error log entries by file type:

These commands list the error log entries by type. For example, the svcinfo lserrlogbymdisk command displays the error log by managed disks (MDisks).

You can display the whole log or filter the log so that only errors, events, or unfixed errors are displayed. You can also request that the output is sorted either by error priority or by time. For error priority, the most serious errors are the lowest-numbered errors. Therefore, the most serious errors are displayed first in the table. For time, either the older or the latest entry can be displayed first in the output.
