event subscriptions are known as HP-Advised subscriptions. Evweb enables you to view the
HP-Advised event subscriptions.

summary description of the event.
– Summary information and detailed information: This feature enables you to view the summary
and details of an event. The search can result in more than one match, all of which are listed in

category, time of archive, and summary description. The detailed information includes IP address,
indication time, indication identifier, parent process ID, priority, format, and so on.

Kernel Configuration tool
Overview
The Kernel Configuration tool (kcweb) is a web-based HP-UX kernel configuration tool used to
configure and manage the kernel of your system.
With each successive release of HP-UX, system administrators have been more able to make changes
to the configuration of the HP-UX kernel without experiencing costly and inconvenient downtime.
Innovations such as Dynamic Kernel Tunables and Dynamically Loadable Kernel Modules enable you
to perform critical maintenance tasks without sacrificing application availability.
