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

NOTE: Evweb enables both administrators and non-administrators to search and view WBEM
events. However, only administrators can delete WBEM events.
The Event Viewer enables you to view, search, and delete WBEM events that are present in the
Event Archive. It also enables you to view both detailed and summary information of WBEM events.
You can also search for WBEM events stored in the Event Archive using the advanced search
feature. To enhance search results, the Event Archive is divided into Current and History Event
archive. By default, the Current event archive contains the latest events that are generated on an
HP-UX 11i v3 system.
The events stored in the Current event archive are automatically moved to the History Event Archive
based on the following parameters, which ever occurs first:
• The events are older than 10 days.
• The page size of the Current event archive is greater than 100.
• Events older than 365 days are purged from the history event archive. This results in a phased
elimination of old events.
These values are defined as XML elements surrounded by <EvwebDBConfig> tag in /var/opt/
sfm/conf/DBConfig.xml. If they are changed, enter the following command at the HP-UX
prompt:
# /opt/sfm/bin/sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/DBConfig.xml
Launching Evweb for viewing WBEM indications
You can launch Evweb either through the CLI or through the HP SMH GUI.

Searching for the subscribed WBEM events
Evweb enables you to search the Event archive for subscribed WBEM events. The Evweb GUI
provides a link, EMT Search, using which you can obtain error, cause, and recommended solutions
for errors that may be generated on an HP-UX 11i v3 system. For more information about how to
use EMT to search for WBEM events, see “Querying the Common Error Repository” (page 71).
Filtering WBEM events using the GUI
The Event Viewer GUI enables you to filter the WBEM events based on their severity level.
