System Administration Commands                  wbemlogviewer(1M)



NAME
     wbemlogviewer - start WBEM Log Viewer

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sadm/bin/wbemlogviewer


DESCRIPTION
     The wbemlogviewer utility starts the WBEM Log Viewer graphi-
     cal user interface, which enables administrators to view and
     maintain log records created by WBEM clients and  providers.
     The  WBEM  Log  Viewer displays a Login dialog box. You must
     log in as root or a user with write access to the root\cimv2
     namespace  to  view  and  maintain log files. Namespaces are
     described in wbemadmin(1M).


     Log events can have three severity levels.

         o    Errors

         o    Warnings

         o    Informational


     The WBEM log  file  is  created  in  the  /var/sadm/wbem/log
     directory,  with  the  name wbem_log. The first time the log
     file is backed up, it  is  renamed  wbem_log.1,  and  a  new
     wbem_log  file is created. Each succeeding time the wbem_log
     file is backed up, the file extension number of each  backup
     log  file  is increased by 1, and the oldest backup log file
     is removed if the limit, which in turn is specified  in  the
     log service settings, on the number of logfiles is exceeded.
     Older backup files have higher file extension  numbers  than
     more recent backup files.


     The log file is renamed with a .1 file extension  and  saved
     when one of the following two conditions occur:

         o    The current file reaches the  specified  file  size
              limit.

         o    A  WBEM  client  application  uses  the  clearLog()
              method in the Solaris_LogService class to clear the
              current log file.

         o    A  WBEM  client  application  uses  the  clearLog()
              method in the Solaris_LogService class to clear the
              current log file.
