Solaris cluster event log

Question

Someone please tell me there is a way to get readable data from the even log in /var/cluster/log. I'm not finding anything in my searches, so I really hope I'm just overlooking something simple. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
there's a binary called showev4 but I do not remember from where I've downloaded it. :)
Sun Cluster 3.x series clusters records event logs as binary log files. Log files can not be read with standard cluster commands. showev4 is a binary to read these log files.
Usage :
./showev4 /var/cluster/logs/eventlog
Sample output :
