Introduction

Chapter 118
Indication Providers
SFM includes one indication provider called the EMS Wrapper Provider.
This provider converts hardware events received from EMS Hardware
Monitors into WBEM indications. The EMS Hardware Monitors
constantly monitor the system hardware resources for any unusual
activity. When any unusual activity is detected on a monitored resource,
the EMS monitor that is monitoring the resource generates an event that
includes details of the problem and notify the EMS Wrapper Provider
through the EMS framework. The EMS Wrapper Provider receives these
events and converts them into WBEM indications.
The EMS Wrapper Provider then reports these indications to the
CIMOM. Using a WBEM-based management application, such as HP
SIM, you can subscribe to and receive Event Monitoring Service (EMS)
events generated on a remote system. On the system on which SFM is
installed, you can use an SFM tool called EVWEB to view and
administer events through the HP SMH interface.
NOTE The terms events and indications are used interchangeably.
