This section describes how to perform non-administration tasks related to viewing WBEM indications using EVWEB.

This section addresses the following topics:

NOTE: EVWEB enables both administrators and non-administrators to search and view WBEM events. However, only administrators can delete WBEM events.

The Event Viewer enables you to view, search, and delete WBEM events that are present in the Event Archive. It also enables you to view both detailed and summary information of WBEM events. You can also search for WBEM events stored in the Event Archive using the advanced search feature.

You can launch EVWEB either through the CLI or through the HP SMH GUI.

To launch EVWEB using the CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# evweb <eventviewer|list>

To launch EVWEB for viewing WBEM indications using the HP SMH GUI, complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the HP SMH.

    To log in to HP SMH, enter http://<hostname>: 2301 in the address bar of the Web browser. The HP SMH login screen is displayed.
