Creating Evweb Event Subscriptions
You can create event subscriptions for the WBEM indications you are interested in monitoring.
You can create the following types of event subscriptions using Evweb:
• Admin Defined event subscriptions – Event subscriptions that are created using
Admin-Defined filters are called Admin Defined event subscriptions. You can modify the
Admin-Defined filters using the sfmconfig command to modify the Admin-Defined event
subscriptions. You cannot use the Evweb list, Evweb subscribe, or the Evweb
eventviewer command to create and delete Admin Defined event subscriptions.
• Event subscriptions created using the HP SMH GUI (Event Subscription Administration)
– You can create these event subscriptions using the GUI or the CLI. You can modify and
delete the event subscriptions that are created using Event Subscription Administration.
To create an event subscription using Event Subscription Administration, you must specify
the following:
— A unique name for the event subscription
— Criteria such as device, event ID, and the severity of the event
— The location where the event must be stored
You can create an event subscription using the following methods:
• Create a completely new event subscription.
• Copy an existing event subscription and modify it.
NOTE: Monitoring requests created using monconfig are independent of the subscriptions
created using Evweb. These two types of subscriptions can have different settings and coexist.
Creating an Event Subscription Using GUI
To create a new event subscription, complete the following steps:
1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching Evweb for Administration” (page 51).
2. Select Create subscription in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.
The Create Subscription page is displayed.
3. Provide appropriate information in the fields present in the Create Subscription page.
