show log chronological

Hi,

is it possible to set

show log
to always display entries in chronological order?
I mean without appending each time 'chronological' to the command.

thank you

Antonio,

There does not appear to be a command to set the "show log" command to display logs in chronological order without specifying chronological in the show command.

Use Scripting EXOS CLI Modules

You can get anything you want.

Thank you for your reply.

Scripting should not be a solution for basic tasks.
Everywhere logs are exposed in chronological order with no need of switching words, simply because it's the logical way to go.

I am not sure what would be simpler than "sh lo ch" versus "sh lo". In EXOS, there is no customization of default behavior of cli output, other than scripting. That having been said, there is a simpler method if you are automating your output.

You can write whatever commands you choose in any way you choose in an .xsf file and then just run it. This function only outputs to console by default.

The python method is really quite simple as well. Simply do:

vi shloch.py
i
print exsh.clicmd('show log chronological', True)

:wq
run script shloch.py

and enjoy!

For anyone coming across this thread in the future, I've created a GTAC Knowledge article discussing this as well:
