Administrator's and User's Guide for SFM HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012

Configuring E-mail Consumer

The E-mail Consumer is a component of Evweb that receives indications from the WBEM Services

and redirects them to an SMTP server. Normally, the local system itself is the e-mail server. In such

cases, you need not configure the E-mail Consumer.

If the e-mail server is not on the local system, you must configure the E-mail Consumer.

To configure the E-mail Consumer, complete the following steps:

1. Open the /var/opt/sfm/conf/evweb.conf file on the system.

2. Change the IP address, FULLNAME, and the FROMADDR (From Address) of the host and save

the file.

The IP address is the address of the e-mail server. The FULLNAME refers to the complete name

of the e-mail server. The FROMADDR refers to e-mail address that sends the event notifications.

Following is a sample evweb.conf file with IP address, FULLNAME, and the FROMADDR

configured:

<EVWEB>

<FULLNAME>localhost</FULLNAME>

</EMAILSERVER>

<FROMADDR>evweb@hp.com</FROMADDR>

</EMAILCONSUMER>

</CONSUMER>

</EVWEB>

3. Enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/evweb.conf

Viewing event subscriptions using Evweb

This section describes how to perform non-administration tasks, such as viewing event subscriptions.

This section addresses the following topics:

• “Viewing Evweb event subscriptions” (page 56)

• “Viewing external event subscriptions” (page 58)

You can view HP Known subscriptions and user defined subscriptions using Evweb. You can also

view event subscriptions that are created using tools other than Evweb (referred to as external

subscriptions).

HP Known event subscriptions are created by default during the installation of the SysFaultMgmt

bundle. However, administrators can also create HP Known event subscriptions, using the

/opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig command.

HP provides some event subscriptions with Evweb. These event subscriptions are known as HP

Advised event subscriptions. By default, the HP Advised event subscriptions store the events in the

Event Archive.

Viewing Evweb event subscriptions

You can view summary and detailed information about event subscriptions using Evweb.

Viewing a summary of an Evweb event subscription using the GUI

To view a summary of the event subscriptions, repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching Evweb for

administration” (page 50).

The Event subscription administration page is displayed.
