See the PeriView Reference Manual for additional information about the Alarm
Viewer and the alarm information that may be obtained with this tool.
You can configure ALARMD to display the year in the timestamps that are added to
entries written to the alarm log files (such as info, warming, alarm, and app). By
default, the year is not displayed in the timestamp.
The optimum way to enable the display of the year in the timestamps of alarm log
entries is to start ALARMD with the command line option -y. This can be done by
modifying the COMMAND LINE field for ALARMD in the
$MPSHOME/common/etc/gen.cfg configuration file to include the -y
command line option. The entry for ALARMD in that file would appear as follows
(note that the quotation marks are required):
alarmd - - 1 0 “alarmd -y”
An alternate method of enabling the display of the year in the timestamps of alarm log
file entries is to add either of the following lines to the ALARMD configuration file
$MPSHOME/common/etc/alarmd.cfg:
alarmd showyear on
alarmd showyear 1
Displaying the year in the timestamps of alarm log file entries can be enabled or
disabled after ALARMD starts by using VSH to issue the showyear console option
with an appropriate argument to ALARMD.
For example, to enable the display of the year in the timestamps of alarm log file
entries, issue either of the following commands at a vsh prompt:
alarmd showyear on
alarmd showyear 1
To disable the display of the year in timestamps of alarm log file entries, issue either
of the following commands at a vsh prompt:
alarmd showyear off
alarmd showyear 0
If you want to display the year in the timestamps of alarm log file entries, Avaya
recommends using the -y command line option in
$MPSHOME/common/etc.gen.cfg to ensure that the year appears in the
timestamp of every alarm written to the log file. If you use either of the other options
described above, alarms generated early in the bootup sequence may not display the
year in their timestamps
For additional information about the alarm facility, see System Utilities and
Software on page 51. alarm is located in $MPSHOME/bin on Solaris systems or
%MPSHOME%\bin on Windows systems.
