1 Introduction to EMS
The Event Management Service (EMS) is a collection of processes, tools, and
interfaces that support the reporting and retrieval of event information.
Information retrieved from EMS helps you:

Monitor your system or network environment

Analyze circumstances that led to a problem

Detect failure patterns

Adjust for changes in the run-time environment

Recognize and handle critical problems

Perform many other tasks required to maintain a productive computing operation
EMS is a major component of NonStop Kernel System Management and was originally
released on the D-series as part of the HP Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
product group, which is described in the Introduction to Distributed Systems
Management (DSM).
EMS is used on both D-series and G-series RVUs of the NonStop Kernel.
