Viewing the IML with the Survey Utility
The Survey Utility is an online information-gathering agent that runs on servers,
gathering critical hardware and software information from various sources, and
saving the information as a history of multiple sessions. This utility runs only under
Microsoft Windows Advanced Server Limited Edition. It was developed to allow you
to resolve problems without taking the server offline, thus maximizing server
availability.
When the Survey Utility runs, it creates (or replaces) an ASCII text file called
SURVEY.TXT. The default location of this file is in the C:/COMPAQ/SURVEY
directory. The survey.txt file contains information about hardware, services running,
and system resources. It also contains the IML.
To view the IML using the Survey Utility in Windows:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Navigate to the C:/COMPAQ/SURVEY directory.
3. Execute the SURVEY.EXE file.
NOTE: To view a list of command line options for SURVEY.EXE, enter survey /? at
the command prompt.
4. When the program is finished executing, open the SURVEY.TXT file using any
ASCII text viewer. The default location for this file is in the
C:/COMPAQ/SURVEY directory.
5. Scroll down to the heading, “Integrated Management Log,” to view the IML.
