This section describes how to perform non-administration tasks, such as viewing event subscriptions.

This section discusses the following topics:

Overview

You can view HP Known event subscriptions and event subscriptions that are created using EVWEB. You can also view event subscriptions that are created using tools other than EVWEB (referred to as external subscriptions).

HP Known event subscriptions are created by default during the installation of the SysFaultMgmt bundle. HP Known event subscriptions are also created by administrators using the sfmconfig command.

HP provides some event subscriptions with EVWEB. These event subscriptions are known as HP Advised event subscriptions. By default, the HP Advised event subscriptions store the events in the Event Archive.

Viewing EVWEB Event Subscriptions

You can view summary and detailed information about event subscriptions using EVWEB.
