Creating and Saving LFA Queries

Creating and executing a query is the fundamental task associated with the Log File Analyzer (LFA). Creating saved queries is a task in the Process for Analyzing Log Files with LFA.

Run queries using the LFA query command to search log files based on users, literal values, sessions, severity, events, subevents, log times, or combinations of these items.

See the following sections for descriptions on running these commands.

The LFA saves the results of each query to memory or saves it to a text file. See Displaying Saved Query Output for details on displaying saved queries. For details on saving output to a text file, see Saving Log File Analyzer Output to Text Files.

To stop a query before it finishes, see Interrupting Log File Analyzer Queries.
