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.
