Overview
SFM includes a user component called Evweb, which enables you to administer and view WBEM
indications generated on the local system on which SFM is installed.
Evweb includes the following components:
• Event Subscription Administration – to subscribe to indications
• Event Viewer – to view indications present in the Event Archive
• Indication Consumer for Event Archive – to store indications in the Event Archive
• Indication Consumer for E-mail – to send indications to your e-mail address
• Event Archive database – to include indications you have subscribed to
Evweb provides the following user interfaces to create and manage event subscriptions and view
indications:
• Browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Evweb supports the following user groups:
• Administrator
• Non-administrator
In the CLI, any user with root privileges is an administrator. However, in the HP SMH GUI,
the user groups in Evweb are mapped to the user groups defined in HP SMH.
The Administrator user group in HP SMH maps to administrators in Evweb. The Operator and
the User user group in HP SMH map to non-administrators in Evweb.
NOTE: For information on how to configure user groups in HP SMH, see the HP System
Management Homepage User’s Guide at:

Launching Evweb for Administration
You can launch Evweb either through the CLI or through the HP SMH GUI.
To launch Evweb using the CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# Evweb subscribe
