the Windows event log on a particular server includes only the messages that

Event Notifier Services
HP Clustered File System provides the following event notifier services:
• SNMP Notifier Service. This service sends SNMP notifications, or traps,
to the configured SNMP targets when the selected events occur. The
Microsoft SNMP service is required.
• Email Notifier Service. This service sends email to specified addresses
when the selected events occur.
• Script Notifier Service. This service allows you to specify a script that will
be triggered when selected events occur.
You will need to configure the services that you want to use with your cluster,
including selecting the events that should trigger the service. For more
information, see “Configure Event Notifiers and View Events” in the HP
StorageWorks Clustered File System Administration Guide.
Event Messages
Each message is labeled with a unique identifier and provides the following
information:
• A description of the event, including the time it occurred.
• The location of the event, such as the IP address of a server.
• The source of the event, such as an HP Clustered File System component.
• A severity level that indicates the relative importance of the event.
• A category such as Startup or Filesystem that can be used for sorting when
viewing the cluster log. Audit trail messages and certain other messages
do have a category.
Some event messages also describe corrective actions or workarounds that
should be taken.
