Collector: You may specify one or more Collector processes to retrieve messages from. These Collectors can be on
one or more NonStop Servers of an Expand network. Multiple entries need to be separated with commas (“,”),
and Collector process names on other nodes need to be fully qualified to include the node name (e.g. $0,
\nodeb.$0). A list of Collectors on the current node (the NonStop Server to which Web ViewPoint directly
communicates with) is displayed to the right side of this area. To select a Collector from this list, simply click on its
name. This will add your selection to those already in the input box. To see detail information on a selected
Collector (first one from the input text box only, if multiple collectors are entered), click on the icon . Web
ViewPoint will open a new Window and display detail information on the selected Collector.
Log File: Enter an EMS log file for Web ViewPoint to read Events from. Only one log file may be entered. You may
type in (fully qualified) the name of the file, or use the Show Logs button. This is how this button works:
Enter the name of a volume & sub-volume (e.g. $data1.subvol1), and click on Show Logs. This exposes a list of log
files (predetermined based on file code: 843), if any. Where available, click on a file of your choice to have its
name transferred to the entry box and appended to the volume and sub-volume name already in place.
B. Filter: There are four query criteria areas where you can set conditions for the type of messages to be
displayed. They are File, Criteria to pass through or fail out messages, String, and Event Type.
File:Enter the name of one or more EMS Filter files. Alternatively, you may use the List button to locate a Filter file
on the NonStop Server. This is how it works:
On your first click, when the entry box is empty, it displays a list of disk drives. You may click on a disk to select it.
Its name will be carried to the entry box.
If you have already selected or entered the name of a disk/volume, a click on the same List button exposes a list of
sub-volumes. You may click on a sub-volume name to select it. Its name will be carried to the entry box.
If you have already selected or entered the name of a volume & sub-volume (e.g. $data1.subvol1), a click on the
same List button exposes a list of Filter files (predetermined based on file code: 845), if any. Where available, click
on a file of your choice to have its name transferred to the entry box and appended to the volume and sub-volume
name already in place.
The ‘Use Pass Values’ checkbox if checked, instructs Web ViewPoint to adhere to pass values generated by filter
files (refer to
Customizing Event Colors & Types for further information.) If unchecked, Web ViewPoint, based on
the ZEMS^TKN^ACTION^NEEDED and ZEMS^TKN^EMPHASIS tokens, assigns pass values to the events passed by
the filter file (this was the default behavior in Web ViewPoint Version 4).
