The console log provides both a real-time and an historical online interface into all event activity. Created daily, the console log is a file containing all events written to the log on a particular day. You can view the log of the previous day or next day (relative to the date of the log you are currently viewing), or select a log created on a specific date.
Only Event Management can read these files. You can set the directory where these files are stored with the Console Files Directory (CAI_CONLOG) environment variable. See the online CA Reference for more information about this environment variable.
You should consider a policy for archiving outdated console log files to tape for off-site storage.
On UNIX/Linux and HP NonStop systems, you can choose to view all events in the log file or you can download the last portion of the log file. For example, you can limit your view to the last two hours. By default, you are prompted for a choice when you start console log. After making an initial selection for a partial retrieval, you can request additional retrieval by choosing View Retrieve. You can also click the Retrieve Log button on the toolbar.
