Appendix B. Format File Reference

This appendix contains details about format files.

The format file usually has an extension of .fmt; see each specific adapter chapter for exact file names. To use non-English characters in a format string, you must enter the non-English characters in the local encodings.

Notes:

1.Although this section discusses the manual text editing of a format file and the file organization, you can accomplish the same results for TME adapters with the Log File Format Editor of the Adapter Configuration Facility (ACF). See the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console User’s Guide for information about using the Log File Format Editor.

2.The UNIX log file adapter, NetWare log file, and OS/2 adapter format files are in English only. The Microsoft Windows NT event log format file is in English and localized into a sample file for the Tivoli supported languages. If you have a source that issues events in a non-English language and you are monitoring that source with an adapter that uses a format file, and the format file has not been localized, you must localize the format file in that language.

Format File Location

An English-language format file is located in each of the language subdirectories that are in the same directory as the adapter configuration file. The language subdirectories are as follows:
