EVWEB
This section describes EVWEB.
What Is EVWEB
EVWEB is a tool that can be used to view and administer WBEM indications generated on the
HP-UX 11i v3 system.
The EVWEB tool includes the following components:
• Event subscription administrator
Event subscription administrator enables users to subscribe to an indication and view it. In
addition, users with administrative privileges can also modify, and delete subscriptions. By
subscribing to an indication, users can obtain detailed information about various WBEM
indications.
As a part of event subscription, users must specify event subscription criteria. Users must also
select one or more destinations to receive information about indications.
Users can select one or more destination from the following list:
◦ Event archive: The path of Event archive is /var/opt/sfmdb/pgsql for PA-RISC and
/var/opt/psb/db/pgsql/ for Itanium. Event archive is the default destination.
◦ Email: Event notification will be emailed to the specified email address. Users can specify
multiple email addresses.
◦ syslog: The path to syslog is /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.
• Event viewer
The event viewer enables users to view the indications stored in the Event archive. In addition,
users with administrative privileges can also delete these indications. By default, HP-advised
subscriptions are stored in the Event archive. The event viewer also enables users to search
for an indication logged in the Event Archive.
• Log viewer
The log viewer enables users to view and search the low level logs stored in the log database.
Benefits
Following lists the benefits of EVWEB:
• Enables users to manage all WBEM indications that are supported by SFM.
• Provides an option to customize the indication destination to receive information about
HP-advised subscriptions.
