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 v2 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. Event Archive
is the default destination.
◦ E-mail: Event notification will be emailed to the specified e-mail address. Users can specify
multiple e-mail addresses.
• 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
Log Viewer enables users to view low level logs that are generated on an HP-UX system. The
low level logs are stored in the log database and contain information such as Log Id, Log
Index, Device Id, Device Type, and Time of occurrence.
