View the Event Log Using the CLI¶
You can use CLI commands to work with historical alarms and logs in the event log.
Procedure
Log in with administrative privileges.
$ source /etc/platform/openrc
Use the fm event-list command to view historical alarms’ sets/clears and logs. By default, only unsuppressed events are shown.
For more about event suppression, see Events Suppression Overview.
The syntax of the command is:
fm event-list [-q <QUERY>] [-l <NUMBER>] [--alarms] [--logs] [--include_suppress]
Optional arguments:
-q QUERY, --query QUERY- key[op]data_type::value; list. data_type is optional, but if supplied must be string, integer, float, or boolean.
-l NUMBER, --limit NUMBERMaximum number of event logs to return.
--alarmsShow historical alarms set/clears only.
--logsShow customer logs only.
--include\_suppressShow suppressed alarms as well as unsuppressed alarms.
--uuidInclude the unique event UUID in the listing such that it can be used in displaying event details with fm event-show <uuid>.
-nopagingDisable output paging.
For details on CLI paging, see CLI Commands and Paged Output.
For example:
[sysadmin@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ fm event-list -l 5 +-----------+-----+-----+--------------------+-----------------+---------+ |Time Stamp |State|Event|Reason Text |Entity Instance |Severity | | | |Log | |ID | | | | |ID | | | | +-----------+-----+-----+--------------------+-----------------+---------+ |2019-05-21T| set |100. |Platform Memory |host=controller-0|major | | 13:15:26. | |103 |threshold exceeded ;|numa=node0 | | | 464231 | | |threshold 80%,actual| | | | | | |80% | | | | | | | | | | |2019-05-21T| set | 100.|Platform Memory |host=controller-0|major | | 13:15:26. | | 103 |threshold exceeded; | | | | 456738 | | |threshold 80%,actual| | | | | | |80% | | | | | | | | | | |2019-05-21T|clear| 100.|Platform Memory |host=controller-0|major | | 13:07:26. | | 103 |threshold exceeded; |numa=node0 | | | 658374 | | |threshold 80%,actual| | | | | | |79% | | | | | | | | | | |2019-05-21T|clear| 100.|Platform Memory |host=controller-0|major | | 13:07:26. | | 103 |threshold exceeded; | | | | 656608 | | |threshold 80%,actual| | | | | | |79% | | | | | | | | | | |2019-05-21T| set | 100 |Platform Memory |host=controller-0|major | | 13:05:26. | | 103 |threshold exceeded; |numa=node0 | | | 481240 | | |threshold 80%,actual| | | | | | |79% | | | | | | | | | | +-----------+-----+-----+--------------------+-----------------+---------+
Note
You can also use the
--nopagingoption to avoid paging long event lists.In the following example, the fm event-list command shows alarms only; the State column indicates either set or clear.

In the following example, the fm event-list command shows logs only; the State column indicates log.
