OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Event Management Guide for Windows

HP NonStop Event Management System 20
Figure 3-3 shows the flow of event messages in a system:
1. Messages originate in the subsystems.
2. The subsystems send the messages to the primary and alternate collector processes.
3. Collectors write passed event messages to the log files.
4. Distributors retrieve selected messages from the log files and send them to processes, printers, terminals,
and other destinations in the operations environment.
The four kinds of distributors are each suited to a particular set of destination requirements:
• Forwarding
• Consumer
• Printing
• Compatibility
