shrink event log file

[a...@cs.nott.ac.uk]

Hii everybody,

I need to shrink the event log file; the output file is too big and with
useless information I do not need like the ones below (i.e. SH, ES, DM,
etc.). Does anybody know how not to save such information??? Thank you very
much, Adriano

SH sm 1629 sg 3
ES t 35678.170073725942
DM id 154731436 pe 293542067

You could use a shell scritp to get the lines you are interested on if they have something in common (like the ones that start with ES or something like that). Like for instance i have shell script that from a vec file, prints all the vectors you have, and then you select wich ones do you want to save, and stuff like that.

Check the "Eventlog" chapter of the manual.
http://www.omnetpp.org/doc/omnetpp40/manual/usman.html#sec365
You can restrict the event log by modules and by time intervals, and you can
record more or less of messages' fields.
There is also an "eventlogtool" with filtering capacity.

BS, SH and ES record message sendings, and make it possible for the sequence
chart tool to draw the arrows. What is it that you'd like to get recorded,
and what not?

Hii everybody,

Basically I don not want to record information like BS, SH, ES etc.
they are taking too much memory space and I do not need them.
What shall I do so that I do not record such information? Any example?

Thank you very much,

The point is that I do want to record such information because they are
taking too much memory space (85GB)... I need not to record them... any
idea?

cheers,
ADriano

You cannot simply remove random lines from an event log file, because
there are certain constraints that must be kept. Anyway, not recording
BS, SH, ES lines would defeat the most important point of event log
files, namely the Sequence Chart in the IDE.

You can configure the event log file recording to record only certain
simulation time intervals, or specific modules. This would
dramatically reduce the file size. You can filter the file with the
eventlogtool after the simulation has been finished. You may even use
your own tool, but make sure that only whole events are filtered out.

Without knowing your goals, why and how are you using the event log
file (e.g. debugging, understanding the model, generating
documentation), it is pretty hard to tell how can you reduce the file
size and still get what you need.

ps: I assume the 85GB means disk space as opposed to memory space
