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 lets you 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 lets you enter the name of the collector process or log file. Your entry must be a
legal Compaq process or file name; the length of a fully qualified file name cannot
exceed 35 characters.
•
Enter log positioning date and time
If you don’t enter a date, the current date is assumed. If you don’t 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.
