NOTE: The HP Known event subscriptions are classified as HP Advised and Admin Defined.
In HP Advised event subscriptions, the events are stored in the event archive by default. The
default location of the events cannot be modified. However, you can direct the events to your
e-mail address or to the syslog. You cannot change any other subscription criteria.
In Admin Defined event subscriptions, the events are stored in the event archive by default. The
default location of the events can be modified. You can store events in the Event Archive, in
syslog, or direct them to your e-mail address, or do all. You cannot change any other subscription
criteria.
In event subscriptions created using Evweb, you can change all criteria except the name of the
subscription.
You can modify an event subscription in the following ways:

You can modify a single event subscription using the modify feature by selecting the event
