6.7.2 Error Log Analysis with Compaq Analyze

Compaq Analyze is a fault management diagnostic tool that is used to determine the cause of
hardware failures. Compaq Analyze analyzes both single error/fault events and multiple events.
It uses error/fault data sources in addition to the traditional binary error log.
Compaq Analyze is installed on the customer's system with the operating system. The Compaq
Analyze Director starts automatically as part of the system start-up. Compaq Analyze provides
automatic background analysis, constantly viewing and reading the error log file. If an event
occurs, it triggers the firing of an analysis rule. The analysis engine collects the information on
the error and generates a problem report. The report can be sent to users on a notification
mailing list and, if DSNlink is installed, a call can be logged with the local customer support
center.
Compaq Analyze supports the Tru64 UNIX, and OpenVMS operating systems on AlphaServer
platforms. It uses a Java-based graphical user interface.
