ITM v6 log files use a hexadecimal timestamp (to save space? who the hell knows), which adds unnecessary effort when the reason you’re looking at the logs is to determine an issue in the first place. In any case… Here’s the script I wrote when I first encountered the nonsense in ITM v6 logs a few years ago:

#!/bin/perl
foreach (<STDIN>) {
if (/^[^\s\d\w]+([\w\d]*)/) {
@t=localtime(hex($1));
$time=sprintf(“%02d:%02d:%02d %02d/%02d/%04d”,
$t[2],$t[1],$t[0],$t[4]+1,$t[3],$t[5]+1900);s/^[^\s\w\d]+[\w\d]*/$time/;}print $_;}

Here’s a one-liner that Venkat.Saranathan at Gulfsoft.com cranked out, rendering my script pretty much obsolete

perl -lane ‘if ($_ =\ /^(.)([\dA-F]+)(\..*)/) { printf “%s%s%s”, $1, scalar(localtime(oct(“0x$2″))),$3; }’

ITM 6.2 FP1 contains several new and changed T/EC class changes, ranging from new classes, new slots, and only ONE new slot (omnux_value replacing kux_value).

**I have not seen an ITM event containing kux_value nor omnux_value, but to be safe, I added the old ‘kux_value’ slot to the kux.baroc file.

TOTAL: 22 baroc files

The following table describes the meaning of the situation event statuses and the setting of the common slots in the generated Tivoli Enterprise Console event.
