Evweb overview
The SFM includes a user component called Evweb, which enables you to administer and view
WBEM indications generated on the local system on which SFM is installed.
Evweb includes the following components:
• Event Subscription Administration – to subscribe to indications
• Event Archive database – to store indications you have subscribed to
• Event Viewer – to view indications present in the Event Archive
• Indication Consumer for Event Archive – to store indications in the Event Archive
• Indication Consumer for E-mail – to send indications to your e-mail address
Evweb provides the following user interfaces to create and manage event subscriptions and view
indications:
• Browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Evweb supports the following user groups:
• Administrator
• Non-administrator
In the CLI, any user with root privileges is an administrator. However, in the HP SMH GUI, the
user groups in Evweb are mapped internally to the user groups defined in HP SMH.
The Administrator user group in HP SMH maps to administrators in Evweb. The Operator and the
User user group in HP SMH map to non-administrators in Evweb.
For information on how to configure user groups in HP SMH, see the HP System Management
Homepage User’s Guide at:

EVWEB supports new IO & Storage native indication providers to display additional info for the
following providers:
