HiSysEvent Tool Usage

Overview

The HiSysEvent tool is a command line tool preconfigured in the /system/bin directory of the system. You can use this tool to subscribe to real-time system events or query historical system vents.

Option Description
-r Subscription to real-time system events based on the default settings. When this option is specified, any real-time system event will be printed on the console.
  • Command for enabling the debugging mode:

    hisysevent -r -d
    

    Description of command options:

Option Description
-d Subscribes to real-time system events in debugging mode.
  • Command for subscribing to real-time system events by event tag:

    hisysevent -r -t <tag> [-c [WHOLE_WORD|PREFIX|REGULAR]]
    

    Description of command options:

Option Description
-t Event tag used to filter subscribed real-time system events.

```

> **NOTE**
> If **-t**, **-o**, and **-n** are specified, the system checks whether the configured event tag is null. If the event tag is not null, the system filters system events based on the matching rules for the event tag. Otherwise, the system filters system events based on the matching rules for the event domain and event name.
