Configure Event Notifiers and
View Events
HP Clustered File System generates an event message when an error
condition or failure occurs or when the status of the cluster changes. To
provide an audit trail of cluster operations, a message is also generated
when a user requests and is granted or denied authorization to perform a
task.
Event messages are logged and can be viewed either with the Cluster
Event Viewer provided with the HP Management Console or with
command-line tools. Certain events called Alerts are also displayed on
the Management Console. Alerts are tracked by HP Clustered File System
and are automatically cleared when the issue is resolved.
HP Clustered File System also provides event notifier services that can be
configured to take a specific action (generate an SNMP trap, send email,
or run a script) when certain events occur.
Overview
Event Logs
When an event message is generated on a server, HP Clustered File
System logs the message in the following locations:
• The Windows event log on the server where the event occurred.
• The cluster log. This log exists on each server and contains messages
that were logged on that server and on the other servers in the cluster.
