This command is used to collect log files on a UNIX or Linux system with administrative privileges (using sudo). Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

sudo: This keyword is used to execute the following command with administrative privileges. It prompts users to enter their password before executing the command.
log collect: This is the main command that initiates the log collection process.
--last ${1h}: This option specifies the time range for the log collection. In this case, it collects logs from the last 1 hour (${1h} is a placeholder for 1 hour).
--output ${filename-logarchive}: This option specifies the output file name for the log archive. It uses the value of ${filename-logarchive} as a placeholder for the desired file name.

To summarize, this command collects log files from the last 1 hour and saves them into a specified log archive file using administrative privileges.
