System Event Analyzer

2.1 Summary

2.1 Summary

System Event Analyzer (SEA) is a fault analysis utility included with the Web-Based Enterprise Services (WEBES) service tools. Each WEBES-based service tool adds functionality to the Director, a process (or set of processes) that executes continuously. SEA provides the Director with the capability to capture and interpret hardware events. The analysis of events can be performed automatically or when requested by an outside process.

SEA provides background automatic analysis by monitoring the active binary event log and processing events as they occur. The events in the binary event log file are checked against the analysis rules. If one or more of the events in the binary event log file meets the conditions specified in the rules, the analysis engine collects the error data and creates a problem report containing a description of the problem and any corrective actions required. Once the problem report is created, it is distributed in accordance with the customer’s notification preferences.

SEA supplies a web-based user interface that connects to the Director and can perform a variety of tasks from a remotely connected web browser. In addition, a set of command-line tools enable diagnosis of binary event logs without connecting to the Director.

2.2 Supported Products

Although WEBES can be installed on any of the hardware and operating system combinations shown in Chapter 1, SEA only supports event bit-to-text translation and event analysis on the following set of HP products. The list grows with each subsequent SEA release.The following list includes the products that SEA supports.

This list also is available in the WEBES User Guide. In the event of any discrepancy between this list and the WEBES User Guide, the release notes take precedence.
