610.0. "VCS REVIEW/EVENT/SINCE VCS$ALL_NODES Equivalent ??" by SEDOAS::CLIFFE_S () Thu Feb 09 1995 17:50

    When will the functinality be available to do a :-
    
     $ CONSOLE EXTRACT/event/since system=all
    
    
    on a VAX VMS box, as my customer wants the functionality of
    issuing the DCL equivalent of a :-
    
    
    $ VCS REVIEW/EVENT/SINCE VCS$ALL_NODES
    
    	A previous note intimates this was intended. Is it in the
    next release ?

610.1		OPG::PHILIP	And through the square window...	`Fri Feb 10 1995 11:05`	12
	Steve, You will have to submit your request to our product manager, it is not currently on our list of things to implement. Why does your customer want to do this, it would result in output with interleaved data from all the systems, I can understand the need for doing this in real-time, but not for historical information which is what extract produces. Cheers, Phil
610.2		CSC32::BUTTERWORTH	Gun Control is a steady hand.	`Tue Feb 14 1995 01:45`	7
	Phil, Being able to review events from all nodes is quite handy and thats what most used it for. Looking at the logfiles for all nodes at once didn;t have a whole lotta use as you've pointed out. Regs, Dan
610.3	my tuppence worth	DARGLE::COUGHLAN		`Tue Feb 14 1995 09:30`	10
	Several of my customers use the review events command for all nodes with VCS today. As I pointed out in a related note, you must have a session manager running to display eventlist and this is not an option if there are no staff present. I know you can use workarounds etc but the same functionality is not available with the workarounds. Its not a show stopper but.. Dave.
610.4	Very useful to have all consoles' output interleaved...	STEVMS::PETTENGILL	mulp	`Thu Jun 08 1995 04:14`	4
	It allows one to get a record of things like a cluster meltdown that shows the time order of the console events. It can be a bit confusing, but it is very useful. The alternative is to print all the listings and then try to line them up...
