Fault Monitoring on Windows Integrity Servers

%windir%\system32\cpqmgmt\cqmgserv directory.
• FplEvtLog.dat: all FPL entries (no filtering)
• EvtLog.dat: all SEL entries (no filtering)
• EvtLogFlt.dat: all SEL entries with severity warning or critical
• EvtLogFltLoc.dat: filtered events (warning or critical) that impact only the local partition
A tool ("slviewer.exe") in the same directory translates the .dat files into .txt files that contain
readable text about event description, reporting entry, cause, and action.
The syntax for these text files is:
SLviewer <SoftLogName.dat> <OutFile.txt>
Windows System Log under “HPEventLog” source
SEL events with alert level 3 or above are entered in the Windows System Log since they are
warnings or critical errors.
SEL events at alert level 2 (informational), where the data type indicates a major change of
state, also get logged to Windows System Log.
SNMP traps
Events entered in the Windows System Log also generate an SNMP trap, unless a trap has
already been generated by another monitoring agent such as Storage agent, NIC agent, or
one of the Foundation agents.
E-mail notification
If the Event Notifier module is enabled and configured, an email notification is sent to the
specified parties for selected warnings and critical errors.
System Management Homepage (SMH) — SEL viewer
All SEL events in the Windows System Log are viewable on the SMH SEL viewer page.
HP Loop-Back Event Restore (LER) Service
LER is an exclusive service of the HP Integrity server that monitors specific SNMP traps
generated by an agent component and logs them to the IPMI SEL. Customers can use the
Management Processor SEL viewer to review these logs and see all events even if the
operating system is down.
Type of Errors
This service only monitors traps that don’t have a corresponding event in SEL (for example,
events generated by Storage, Cluster, and Foundation agents). Currently, the only traps
monitored by LER come from the LSI controller agent.
Methodology
The LER service monitors the SNMP trap address set up in the system.
