ELV

    The Error Log Viewer (ELV) utility allows you to quickly examine, 
    from the command line, an error log file in a user-readable format 
    before deciding whether the data warrants a more comprehensive 
    analysis with a tool such as the System Event Analyzer.

    ELV is particularly useful with error logs created on systems with
    newer devices or on newer systems such as most of the DS, ES, and 
    GS series. ELV can also be used with error logs created on some 
    older systems or on systems equipped with older devices.

    ELV provides detailed information for all error log events of the 
    following types:

    o Bugchecks
    o Volume mounts and dismounts
    o Correctable error throttling notifications
    o Software parameters
    o Control entries:
      - Indictment events
      - System service messages
      - Network messages
      - Operator messages
      - ERRLOG.SYS created
      - Time stamps
      - System startup messages

    ELV provides detailed information for some error log events of the 
    following types:

    o Machine checks
    o Device errors
    o Device timeouts
    o Asynchronous device attentions
    o Logged messages
    o Logged MSCP messages
 
    To invoke ELV, enter ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV.  For complete help on
    the ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV command, enter HELP ANALYZE/ERROR_LOG/ELV
    at the DCL prompt.
