Replaying a log file

Both log file types can be replayed using the Tivoli Performance Viewer. If size is of concern, it is recommended that you zip the files while they are not needed. To replay a log file, do the following:

1. Select File -> Log from the Tivoli Performance Viewer main menu.

2. Click the Browse... button to open the file browser.

3. In the Open window, locate the name of the file to replay and click the Open button.

4. Click the Play icon from the toolbar or select Setting -> Log Replay -> Play from the main menu.

By default, the data is replayed at the same rate it is collected (written to the log). If data is collected every minute, it is displayed every minute. You can change the speed at which the log is replayed by clicking the FF button (Fast Forward) in the toolbar or by selecting Setting -> Log Replay -> FF from the main menu.

While replaying the log, you can change your resource selections with the resource selection pane. You can also view the data in either of the views available (data or chart) in the data display window.

You can stop and resume the log at any point. However, data cannot be replayed in reverse.

To rewind the log file, first click Stop, then click the Rewind button in the toolbar or select Setting -> Log Replay -> Rewind from the main menu.
