Displaying MAS Event & Error Logs

The Avaya Messaging Application Server software provides two system logs related specifically to events and errors.

On your Windows desktop, click the Start > Run menu command. The system displays the Run dialog box.

In the Open field, type command or cmd and click OK. The system displays the MS-DOS Prompt window.

At the DOS prompt, enter one of the following commands, depending on the event and error log you want to view:

To view the administrator log, enter displog -l admin.

To view the maintenance events log, enter displog -l maint.

You may wish to limit the number of entries the system displays. Otherwise, you may have to sift through hundreds or thousands of entries. To do this, you can modify the displog command to retrieve records for designated days or times, for example:

If you wanted to view the events log for today from 3:00 p.m. to the current time, you would enter: displog -l maint -d15:00.

If you wanted to view the administrator log for all of today, starting from midnight, you would enter: displog -l admin -dmm/dd/yy (where mm/dd/yy is today’s date).

If you wanted to view the events log for all events starting from a certain day at 8:00 a.m. to the present, you would enter:
displog -l maint -d"mm/dd/yy 08:00" (where mm/dd/yy is the starting date for the records you want to view).
