What Happens Next
After you click the Edit button, the screen displays the contents of the selected file. You can scroll
through the file and edit it using your browser. When you are finished, click the Save button to
save the edited file. The edited version is stored in a file that has the same name as the previous
version and the extension .editing.
If you click the Cancel button, your new version of the file is not saved but remains visible on the
screen.
To implement the new configuration, select Restart from the menu at the left side of the screen.
When you restart:
• The previous configuration file is renamed to include the extension .backup.
• The new configuration file is renamed to omit the extension .editing.
• The new file has the same name that the previous file had before you chose the restart
operation.
For example, if you edit the file httpd.config, you create a file named
httpd.config.editing. When you restart the server, the following file names change:
• The stored httpd.config file becomes httpd.config.backup.
• The edited file httpd.config.editing becomes httpd.config.
These name changes occur even if the restart does not succeed.
View EMS Logs
This screen enables you to monitor event messages as events arise or review messages logged at
some earlier time. You reach this screen by choosing EMS logs from the menu on the left side of
the screen.
What You See
The screen displays a list of criteria for selecting events to be displayed:
• Enter event source (collector or log file)
If you want to monitor events as they occur, the event source is a collector. If you want to
review a log of stored event messages, the event source is a log file. This list item enables you
to enter the name of the collector process or log file. Your entry must be a legal HP process
or file name; the length of a fully qualified file name cannot exceed 35 characters.
• Enter log positioning date and time
If you do not enter a date, the current date is assumed. If you do not enter a time, the current
time is assumed. To get the most recent event messages, leave the date and time blank. Your
entry can have a maximum length of 19 characters.
• Enter filter file name
A filter file specifies the selection criteria for messages, using the EMS filter language. For
information about that language, see the EMS Manual.
Specify the file name in Guardian file-name format. The maximum length is 35 characters.
If you omit the filter file name, all events pass this test.
• Enter filter criteria
This item enables you to specify one or more subsystem owners, subsystem IDs, and event
numbers.
A subsystem owner usually is a company name and is case sensitive. For example, to include
events from HP subsystems, you must specify TANDEM in all uppercase. A subsystem owner
name consists of eight or fewer characters. The first character must be alphabetic, the others
