EventId from the log

[phanee_k]

Hi,
How to get the first event id that is getting generated for a particular job.
The last event we can capture using the DSGetNewestLogId.
Is there any way to capture the first eventid generated.

Thanks,
Phani

Hi,
You can try the log info routines to get there.
Perhaps you might achieve the same with a job report combind with some head command.

what do you need it for?
simply seeing it would be easy by filering the director log view.
getting it for some other use would require as I said some programing work on your part will be required.

Use the search for the DSGetLogEntry,DSGetLogSummary,DSGetNewestLogId, routines or look them up in your documentation.

Depending on what you need you might also have luck using the dsjob command line interface with one or some of the -log , -logsum , -logdetail ,-lognewest and -report options.

This was covered extensivly in the server forum as well.

IHTH,

DSGetNewestId has options for filtering by event type (severity) and timestamp.
