Administrator's and User's Guide for SFM HP-UX 11i v1 December 2006

Filters are classified as follows:
• HP-Defined Filters
HP-Defined filters are defined by HP, and are present in the FMD repository at the time of
installation. You can enable or disable HP-Defined filters. To enable HP-Defined filters, run
fmdcontrol enable at the HP-UX prompt. To disable HP-Defined filters, run fmdcontrol
disable at the HP-UX prompt. Indications fulfilling the conditions in the HP-Known
HP-Defined filters are logged in the Event Archive. These subscriptions ensure that all the
indications recommended by HP for system management are logged in the Event Archive.
• Admin-Defined Filters
You can create, delete, and modify Admin-Defined filters by using the fmdcontrol
command. You can also enable or disable Admin-Defined filters. HP does not provide any
Admin-Defined filter. You must create filters. By default, the FMD Provider does not log
indications fulfilling the conditions in the Admin-Defined filters, in the Event Archive. You
must modify the Admin-Defined filters to log indications in the Event Archive.
For more information about the fmdcontrolcommand and its options, runman fmdcontrol
at the HP-UX prompt.
