The vxlogview utility allows you to view the logs that unified logging generates. Search criteria can be specified by using command-line options to view specific logs.
Unified logging uses a standardized naming format for log files, as follows:
productID-originatorID-hostID-date-rotation.log
For more information about the unified logging name format and the logging originator IDs, refer to the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
Specify the logs you want to view.
Displays all log messages from log files that multiple Symantec products generate.
Displays messages that are logged at the given start date and time.
The required date value
format in NetBackup commands varies according to your locale. The
/user/openv/msg/.conf file (UNIX and
Linux) and the install_path\VERITAS\msg\LC.CONF file
(Windows) contain information such as the date-time formats for
each supported locale. The files contain specific instructions on
how to add or modify the list of supported locales and formats.
See the "Specifying the locale of the NetBackup installation" topic in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II for more information.
Surround the date by single quotes in UNIX and double quotes in Windows. For example:
-b '1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'
If the -b option is not specified, messages are displayed from the beginning of the log file to the given end time (see the -e option).
Displays specified message fields. Separate multiple DisplayOptions with commas.
DisplayOption may be one or more of the following:
s - Display application log entry severity
u - Display application or diagnostic Unique Message ID
x - Display actual log message text
w - Display who logged the diagnostic or debug message
i - Display short name for a product
o - Display short name for an originator
all - Display all fields of the log record
If -d is not specified, the following fields are displayed by default.
- Who (for diagnostic and debug messages only)
- Severity (application messages only)
Displays messages that are logged up to a given end day and time.
The required date value
format in NetBackup commands varies according to your locale. The
/user/openv/msg/.conf file (UNIX and
Linux) and the install_path\VERITAS\msg\LC.CONF file
(Windows) contain information such as the date-time formats for
each supported locale. The files contain specific instructions on
how to add or modify the list of supported locales and formats.

Surround the date with single quotes in UNIX and double quotes in Windows. For example:
--endate '1/1/2010 12:00:00 PM'
If the -e option is not specified, vxlogview displays messages from the given start date and time (see the -b option) to the end of the log file.
Specifies the path and filename of a file that contains one or more queries. Use with the -q option.
Displays logs from the specified directory instead of a configured log directory. An absolute path must be specified for the directory.
Displays log configuration settings for the specified LogSet.
Displays messages that a given file ID or shared originator ID logged. It searches only the log files that were created by the specified process. By limiting the log files that it has to search, vxlogview returns a result faster. By comparison, the vxlogview -o option searches all unified log files for messages logged by the specified process.
Displays application log messages. The following parameters can be used with -L to specify the severity level:
-C, --crit : A critical error has occurred which may impact the availability of the application.
-E, --err : An error has occurred that does not affect the entire application.
-F, --info : An informational message.
-M, --emerg : An emergency condition exists that may result in an operating system failure or shutdown.
-W, --warning : A warning is issued for a problem that has been detected.
Displays messages in the specified locale. The default is English. The messages are displayed in the current system locale if this option is not given.
Displays messages logged by the given entity method name or function name.
Displays debug messages (-D) or diagnostic log messages (-I) for a given level (Level).
Displays the messages that are logged for the last NumberOfDays days.
Displays the messages that the specified originator ID has logged. You can use the ID number or the short name for the originator. For example, the Policy Execution Manager can be specified by nbpem or by 116, its originator ID number.
Displays the messages that are logged by the specified process ID.
Displays the messages that the product (identified by a given product ID) logged. Instead of an identifier, the user can provide the abbreviated name of product. The NetBackup product ID is 51216, and the PBX product ID is 50936.
Uses resources from the specified directory instead of a configured localization resource directory.
Displays audit messages that have the specified result. Result can be either 0 or 1.
Continuously displays the new messages that are logged by a given product ID and file ID pair. The product ID (-p ProductID) and file ID (-i FileID) must accompany the tailloop option (-S) on the command line. The file ID can be a shared originator ID or an originator ID that is not shared with any other ID. Tailloop starts by displaying to the console the last 10 messages that have been logged. It then displays any new log messages. Use Ctrl-C at any time to stop the loop.
Displays the audit messages that have the specified Subject.
Displays the messages that the specified thread ID has logged.
Specifies a WHERE clause to use when you query the log messages such that a subset of messages can be displayed. For more detail on QueryString, refer to the "Using Logs and Reports" in the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
Displays messages that belong to the given context instance. Context tokens identify context instances. If the context token is specified as "all," it displays all of the context names and associated tokens.
Displays the hostname with each displayed log message. Use this option if the log files come from different hosts and you want to display which message came from which host.
Displays messages with time adjusted as per the given timezone.
A query string is a text expression, similar to a database WHERE clause, that is used to retrieve log entries from the Unified Logging system. The expression is a combination of relational operators, constant integers, constant strings, and names of log fields that evaluate to a single value. Logical operators, such as AND and OR, are used to group expressions.
Supported relational operators include: < (less than), > (greater than) <= (less than or equal to, >= (greater than and equal to), = (equal to), and != (not equal to).
Supported logical operators include && (logical AND) and || (logical OR).
Predefined log fields can be in all uppercase or all lowercase (for example: PID | pid). These fields consist of the following:
CTXTOK -- Context token (string)
ENDATE -- Locale-specific end date (long integer or string)
FILEID -- Shared originator ID (integer)
HOSTNAME -- Name of source host (string with quotes)
LEVEL -- Debug and diagnostic level. Default is to display all (integer 0-6)
MSGTYPE -- The following message types are supported:
DEBUG | debug DIAG | diag APP | app AUDIT | audit
ORGID -- Originator identifier (integer or string)
PID -- Process Identifier (integer)
PREVTIME -- Previous time (string hh:mm:ss)
PRODID -- Product identifier (integer or string)
RETURNVAL -- The audit message outcome field (0 or 1)
SEV -- Severity level. The following severity types are supported:
INFO | info WARNING | warning ERR | err CRIT | crit EMERG | emerg
STDATE -- Locale-specific start date (long integer or string)
The following examples are valid for UNIX, which uses single quotes to enclose option arguments. In Windows, use double quotes.
This example displays the log messages for all the installed products:
# vxlogview -a
This example displays the log messages for PBX (product ID 50936). You must be an authorized user with administrator (root) privileges. It displays only the date, time, message type, and message text:
# vxlogview --prodid 50936 --display D,T,m,x
This example displays the log messages for NetBackup that were logged between the dates 11/18/10 and 11/21/10:
# vxlogview --where "(prodid = 'NB') && (stdate >= '11/18/10 0:0:0 AM' && endate <= '11/21/10 10:12:00 AM')"
This example displays the log messages that were created on or after the date and time 1/03/06, 11:00:00 a.m.:
# vxlogview -b '1/03/10 11:00:00 AM'
This example displays the log messages that were logged within the last hour:
# vxlogview --tail 1:00:00
This example displays the audit log messages that have a result of 0:
# vxlogview --audit -r 0
This example displays the context log messages for the "job_context" instance:
# vxlogview --ctx 'jobid=4'
