Event Display Operations
The selected events are passed on through the filter to their own individual tasks in the
event collection server. In turn, the task in the event collection server inserts these event
messages into each alternate-events cache stored in its memory.
Primary events, however, consist of incoming current events from possibly several
nodes and are shared by both operators. When each operator views the Primary Events
screen, that operator is observing current events contained in the primary-events cache.
For primary and alternate events, the event messages from remote nodes are passed
through the filter associated with the forwarding distributor of the node. For simplicity,
the forwarding distributor is omitted in Figure 5-21; refer to the two preceding figures
for details.
Figure 5-22 is a continuation of the previous figure, concluding the sequence that began
in Figure 5-16. This illustration shows elements for two operators. Each operator has
the following: one set of configuration files, one alternate-events cache, one events-
display process, one default subvolume, and one terminal.
