Configuring Event Manager
Chapter 362
• The channel manager, evmchmgr
• The logger, evmlogger
Each component recognizes a configuration file that directs its
operations.
When you install the operating system, the Event Manager is configured
to run with default options that are suitable for most installations.
However, you can change the configuration of your system under the
following conditions:
• An event channel is to be added or modified
• The log file archive and expiration options need to be changed
• An alternate logging directory is established
Whenever the configuration changes because a new file is loaded or
because a change is made, the configuration must be reestablished by
running the evmreload command. For more information on this
command, see evmreload (8) .
