Viewing events

The events on this panel can be sorted with primary commands to show information such as which events make up most of your event traffic.

Example

For example, if you enter

SHOWPER|SP 50

and press Enter on the Event Activity Statistics panel, the display will show only the events that make up 50% of the event traffic. The following figure shows an example of the Event Activity Statistics after SP 50 was entered.

You might find that only 1 or 2 events make up 50% of your event traffic. By creating Rules for these events, you could automate as much as 50% of the events.

Line commands: selecting an event

Once you have decided on an event to automate, issue the S line command (for (S)elect) in the LC column.

The Rule Processor Detail Control panel is displayed. The Rule that you create will be added to the Rule Set named in the Rule Set to be Updated ===> field of the Event Activity Statistics application. Proceed to Using the Rule Processor Detail Control panel for more information about creating a Rule.

Primary commands

The following table describes the primary commands for the Event Activity Statistics panel.

Event activity statistics panel primary commands

Command

Parameters

Description

FIND | F

text-id

Finds an exact match of a specified text-ID

Use this command when you are searching for a specific text-ID;

Example

F $HASP00

This command can be repeated with the RFIND command.

LOCATE | L

text-id or partial text-ID

Locates the closest match to a specific text-ID

Use this command when you are searching for occurrences of text-IDs and you want to use a text string to perform the search;

Example

L $HASP

This command cannot be repeated with the RFIND command.

RFIND

n/a

Repeats the previous FIND command and searches for the same text-ID

SHOWALL | SA

n/a

Shows all messages; use this command to redisplay all messages after a SM, SP, or ST command that has been entered previously

SHOWMESSAGE | SM

text-id or text string

Displays only those messages that match a specific text-ID or text pattern; for example the following command lists only those messages that begin with a message ID of $HASP:

Example

SM $HASP

To return the display to its initial state, issue the SHOWALL | SA command.

SHOWPER | SP

nn

Displays entries (sorted by occurrence) whose combined counts constitutes a given percentage (nn) of the total message traffic

The value nn is equal to the percentage; for example, the following command displays those messages that make up 80% of the total message traffic:

Example

SP 80

To return the display to its initial state, issue the SHOWALL | SA command.

SHOWTOP | ST

nn

Applies the percentage (nn) to the total message traffic to calculate a minimum count

All entries whose count exceeds the calculated minimum count are displayed; for example, the following command displays all messages that occurred more frequently than 30% of the total message traffic:

Example

ST 30

To return the display to its initial state, issue the SHOWALL|SA command.

SORT

[COUNT | HANDLED | Type | Text-ID] A | D

Sorts the display, by column heading, in ascending or descending order

Descending order (the default) means the largest value is shown at the top of the display. For example, the following command sorts all messages by the number of times they have been encountered in descending order:

Example

SORT COUNT

The event encountered most often is shown at the top.

You can sort on all of the column headings except on the column heading Description.
