How to use db2diag command line option for time

27 April,2017 by Tom Collins

Question: A vendor has requested a snippet from db2diag log. The file needs to include all the db2diag log entries between 00:00:00 and 01:10  from 1 week ago.   I checked the file and the timeframe is available – but there are thousands of entries around that time , and so it is time consuming to extract the details.

Is there a way with db2diag command line option to extract between a start and finis time?

Answer: db2diag command line options offers a wider range of methods to interrogate and extract details. 

There is a command line option –time , which will satisfy your requirements. Let’s check an example.

db2diag -time 2016-04-16-00.00:2016-04-16-01.10

This example will extract all entries between midnight and 01:10 for the date 2016-04-16.
