Event Information Tools: Console Logger

Run the Utility to Generate An Encrypted Password
Follow these steps to generate an encrypted password for the configuration file:
1. Change directory to the following location:
HP-UX: cd /opt/smstools/bin
Windows: cd c:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EIT\opt\bin
2. Run the "encryptpasswd" executable.
3. When prompted, enter your unencrypted password:
Enter the Password: pass4mp
The utility will display the encrypted version of the password you entered (the following encrypted
password is merely an example of an encrypted password; your encrypted password may be
different):
Enter the Password: pass4mp
Encrypted Password: 123456789abcdef
4. Copy the "Encrypted Password" ("123456789abcdef" in the current example) into the configuration
file, under the heading "MP Information", in place of the "<encrypted password>" field entry.
Modifying the Configuration File
Follow these steps to modify the configuration file:
1. Use Notepad (DO NOT USE MICROSOFT WORD!) to open the following file:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\EIT\var\config\conslogd.cfg
Note:
An equal sign must be placed between an entry name and its value: spaces and other
characters are not acceptable.
All line entries must be left-justified, that is, they must start at the first cursor position in the
line (there can be no leading spaces or characters).
In MP entries, spaces are not allowed between field values; the only permitted inter-field
value characters allowed are commas, and there must be no spaces either before or after them.
2. Modify the one REQUIRED field: "MP Information". You should enter the appropriate data (system
name, IP address, user name, encrypted password generated under "First Time Task", step 1) for
your system(s). Note that the system name should include the domain name. Also, the maximum
number of entries for this field is 18 entries.
3. Modify any other fields in the configuration field, as desired and appropriate (see the configuration
file for instructions and suggestions on how to choose appropriate values, and to identify default
values). To change the polling cycle, for instance, uncomment the line "#POLLING_CYCLE=5" in
