To learn more about Reporter
● Click or choose Help➤On Tool… from either of
Reporter’s main windows.
Reporter’s help is an online version of this chapter.
To view the error log
● Select File➤Error Log…
If an error occurs, Reporter notifies you by displaying the error log, with
the most recent error message visible. Error messages are generally self-
explanatory and suggest a corrective course of action where appropriate.
All errors for a given Reporter process are collected in a file called
netm.errlog.pid, where pid is this Reporter’s process ID. The file is
placed in the temporary directory defined by the environment variable
TMPDIR, if this variable exists; otherwise, the file is placed in /usr/tmp.
When you use the Display Now function described on page 54, it
launches a separate process to render the report. This separate grapher
process has its own error log.
You can view the contents of the error log at any time by selecting
File➤Error Log… from the Reporter window.
Processes associated with Reporter also log useful information to the file
/var/adm/netm_log. You can control the level of detail logged to this
file by setting the debug level. Refer to the man pages for details.
