InterSystems IRIS System Error Log
InterSystems IRIS sets aside a small portion of its shared memory to log items of interest. This table, which can contain important diagnostic information, is referred to by several different names, including the InterSystems IRIS system error log, errlog, SYSLOG, and the syslog table.
By default, the system error log contains the 500 most recent log items. For information about configuring the number of items in the system error log, see errlog.
To view the system error log, choose one of the following methods:
-
Open the Terminal, enter set $namespace = "%SYS" to switch to the %SYS namespace, and enter do ^SYSLOG. You can also enter do FILTER^SYSLOG, which has options to limit the output based on specific error codes or process ID.
-
Run a diagnostic report, as described in Using the Diagnostic Report.
-
Run the irisstat command with the –e1 option, as described in Running irisstat with Options.
-
Run the IRISHung script, as described in IRISHung Script.
You can configure InterSystems IRIS to write the system error log to the messages log during shutdown using the ShutDownLogErrors setting (see ShutDownLogErrors).
