A.2.2 Checking the Contents of Logs
Use the showlogs command to check error logs.
showlogs command
The showlogs command displays the specified log. By default, the command displays the log in chronological order from the oldest time stamp. You can specify the following logs.
On individual systems, specify the type of log to display from the collected logs. You can specify one of the following:
  1. error: Error log
  2. power: Power log
  3. event: Event log
  4. monitor: Monitoring message log
On individual SPARC M12-2S chassis, specify the type of log to display from the collected logs.
  1. env: Temperature history
On individual physical partitions (PPARs), specify the type of log to display from the collected logs. You can specify one of the following:
  1. console: Console message log
  2. panic: Panic message log
  3. ipl: IPL message log
