Syntax

fathom -httpport 8080 -alertlist [group selection option] [keyword value]
Note: You specify -httpport only if OpenEdge Management is running on a port other than the default of 9090.
You can also use two additional options, the -detail and -verbose options, presented in , with the group selection options highlighted in Table 8 with the group selection options highlighted in Table 7.
Although the command line does not limit the number of options you can type into the command line, only the last group selection option identified on the command line is processed.
The following figure identifies a command line that generates a group selection based on the -restype option where the resource type is identified as system. Note that the resource name, listed in the Resource column, specifies the AdminServer name and associated resource name. Although this level of detail provides more information about a resource, it does not completely eliminate the possibility of confusion among resources with similar or identical names.
