OSM Event Viewer
OSM Event Viewer
The OSM Event Viewer is a browser-based event viewer, more like Web ViewPoint
than the TSM Event Viewer. The OSM Event Viewer allows you to retrieve and view
events from any EMS formatted log files ($0, $ZLOG, or an alternate collector) for
rapid assessment of operating system problems.
To access the OSM Event Viewer, refer to Launching OSM and TSM Applications on
page 1-11. For more about the OSM Event Viewer, including a comparison with TSM
Event Viewer, see the OSM Migration Guide. For details on how to use the OSM Event
Viewer, refer to the online help.
TSM Event Viewer
Use the TSM Event Viewer to view a chronological list of events generated by
processors, processes, and subsystems.
The TSM Event Viewer allows you to view EMS log files using multiple views that you
can customize. These various views permit rapid assessment of operating system
problems. You can view events from any EMS formatted log files ($0, $ZLOG, or an
alternate collector), including event logs saved on the server.
To access the TSM Event Viewer, refer to Launching OSM and TSM Applications on
page 1-11. This guide does not describe using the TSM Event Viewer. For more
information, refer to online help for the TSM Event Viewer.
ViewPoint
Use the ViewPoint product to display event messages about current or past events
occurring anywhere in the network on a set of block-mode events screens. The
messages can be errors, failures, warnings, and requests for operator actions. The
events screens allow operators to monitor significant occurrences or problems in the
network as they occur. Critical events or events requiring immediate action are
highlighted.
This guide does not describe using the ViewPoint product. For more information, see
the ViewPoint Manual. In general, the ViewPoint Manual applies to both D-series
RVUs and G-series RVUs. However, some information might apply only to D-series
RVUs; for example, references to the Peripheral Utility Program (PUP).
