Summary of Commands display messages
UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507 Issue 3 April 2000 447
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.
