How to view the Syslog Application logs in CLI

[d.anthony.hadley_2]

On CallManager 6.1.x, how do we view the Application Logs in the Syslog Viewer using the CLI?  I know how to view the traces but not the Application or System logs in CLI.  My RTMT to a customer is being blocked so I need to use the CLI.  Thanks.

You can't you forcefully need RTMT for that

Event Viewer-Application Log = /var/log/active/syslog/CiscoSyslog.*

Event Viewer-System Log = /var/log/active/syslog/messages.*

From CLI:

To list application logs:

file list activelog syslog/CiscoSyslog.* date detail

To list system logs:

file list activelog syslog/messages.* date detail

To view a specific application log:

file view activelog syslog/CiscoSyslog.1

To view a specific system log:

file view activelog syslog/messages.1

I had no idea you could get those via CLI, I'll have to save those commands

java

Great, thanks Michael.  Is there a way that you can do a search for a keyword in the logs without having to look through the entire log?

old thread revival alert; sorry

this has been super helpful, thank you

i am wondering though if there is a way you can view the file without doing the n=next p=prev steps, so does a dump of all to screen?
