A Summary of Commands

display messages

The priority argument should be used to display messages with specific types of urgencies. Two groups of priorities exist: alarms and events. Alarms are messages that have been reported as *C (critical), ** (major), or * (minor) priorities. Events are all the remaining messages that have no priority, for example, status messages. For example, to display the last 100 alarms, type the following:

display messages priority alarms 100

You can also display specific priorities using the priority option. You can specify either the name of the priority or its symbol (for example, critical or *C) To display all of the critical messages, type the following:

display messages priority critical all

Note: You should use the priority alarm argument when alarms are needed, otherwise use the priority events argument. The priority argument must be used with this command.

Combinations of priorities can also be displayed by listing each priority separated with a comma. For example, to display the last 100 alarms messages, type the following:

display messages priority ‘*C’,‘**’,‘*’ all

where *C, **, and * must be enclosed in quotes.
