The procedures included in this section presume you have started Windows NT, logged
. .
in to your account and opened the Compaq IML Viewer. The steps that follow outline
. .
. . how to clear the IML using the Compaq IML Viewer.
. .
. .
. . 1. Select Clear All Entries... on the Log Menu.
. .
. .
2. Choose one of the following options provided to save the current IML:
. .
. .
. .
Save – Saves the IML to a file so that a user can view the information at
. .
. .
a later date. However, once the saved IML file has been archived it
. .
becomes static information; therefore, system administrators cannot
. .
. .
mark event entries as repaired and the saved IML file is no longer
. .
dynamically updated.
. .
. .
. .
Export – Allows users to save the IML to a comma-separated file for
. .
viewing at a later date using a third-party application. Once the IML has
. .
. .
been exported it also becomes a static file.
. .
. .
Print – Allows users to print out the IML entries currently being viewed.
. .
. .
The utility prints only the IML entries displayed on the screen. To print
. .
the entire IML, clear any filter settings before printing.
. .
. .
. .
3. Select the Clear button once you are ready to remove the IML entries from NVRAM.
. .
. .
. .
Since this is data destructive, the utility prompts you to confirm your actions.
. .
. .
. .
4. Select Yes to confirm and the utility deletes all IML entries on the currently
. .
selected machine.
. .
. .
. .
. .
Printing the IML
. .
. .
Printing the IML provides users with a hard copy of the Integrated Management Log. The
. .
. .
Compaq IML Viewer prints only the IML entries displayed on the screen. To print the
. .
entire log, be sure to clear any filters that have been applied to the IML.
. .
. .
. .
Note: A quick and easy way to check if the Filter is on is to look at the right-hand side of the status bar.
. .
. .
If a filter has been applied, the utility displays the word Filtered; otherwise, the utility displays
. .
Not Filtered.
. .
