:  2.1   Overview

(ÖThe command line interface (CLI) provides a text-based interface for Compaq Analyze and a means to interact with the Director. The CLI enables both automatic and manual analysis (automatic analysis is the default).

({In automatic mode, Compaq Analyze monitors the binary system event logs for new events. When a event is appended to the binary event log, Compaq Analyze translates the event into a readable format. The decomposed event is passed to the Analyzer for fault analysis. Depending on the analysis of the event and the analysis of a history of events, a problem report may be generated.

(Manual mode enables you to specify binary event logs for translation and analysis, without interfering with automatic analysis.

(|The Director is not required to run all the CLI commands. The following CLI functions can be performed without the Director:

(Manual Analysis
(Translation
(Summary Report
(Create New Binary Log File
(‡Since these operations do not use the Director, you must have permission to access any log file that you want to process. In addition, messages that would otherwise be written to the Director's log files are included in the output for the command. The messages shown remain subject to the logging level. Refer to Chapter 1 for more information on log messages.
