General configuration file | HP File System Extender (FSE) specs

To meet your requirements for monitoring the FSE event log file, adjust the parameters in the loganalyzer.config general configuration file and set the analysis rules in the loganalyzerrules.py rules configuration file.

Similarly, to meet your requirements for monitoring the Linux system event log file, adjust the parameters in the loganalyzer_messages.config general configuration file and set the analysis rules in the loganalyzerrules_messages.py rules configuration file.

For more information on adjusting the general configuration file, see section ”The general configuration file” on page 198. For more information on setting the analysis rules in the rules configuration file, see section ”The rules configuration file” on page 204.

Windows specific

The configuration data is specified in two configuration files:

•The general configuration file (LogAnalyzer.config), containing general, mailing, and SNMP related configuration.

•The rules configuration file (LogAnalyzerRules.py), containing the log analysis configuration.

To meet your requirements for monitoring of the FSE event log file

(%InstallPath%\var\log\fse.log), adjust the parameters in the general configuration file (LogAnalyzer.config) and set the analysis rules in the rules configuration file

(LogAnalyzerRules.py).

See ”The general configuration file” on page 198 for more information on adjusting the general configuration file and the ”The rules configuration file” on page 204 for more information on setting the analysis rules in the rules configuration file.

The general configuration file

General configuration files reside in the directory /etc/opt/fse (on Linux systems) or in the directory %InstallPath%\etc (on Windows systems). They contain the following information:

•Log Analyzer related information, such as time interval for checking new entries in the log file, whether the debugging information is displayed or not, whether to analyze a log file from the beginning or from the end, the rules configuration file location, the temporary files location, and the Log Analyzer log files location.

•E-mail related information, such as the name of the SMTP server, SMTP authentication, text to be send in e-mails, e-mail subject and subject prefix, sender and recipient information, attachment prefix, whether the attachment is compressed or not, and the time interval within which the packages are to be sent or dumped to files.

•SNMP related information, such as SNMP management unit IP, SNMP community name, and SNMP sender ID.

The following is an example of the general configuration file:

This technology addresses the challenges of data growth and the need for effective data retention strategies, enabling organizations to store and manage their information more efficiently.

One of the main features of HP FSE is its ability to intelligently migrate data between primary and secondary storage. By utilizing policies that determine when to move infrequently accessed files to lower-cost storage environments, FSE helps reduce the strain on primary storage systems and saves on costs associated with high-performance storage solutions. This tiered approach to data management ensures that organizations can access the data they need quickly while still maintaining an efficient overall storage architecture.

Another notable characteristic of HP FSE is its seamless integration with existing storage infrastructures. The solution works with a variety of storage systems, allowing organizations to utilize their current investments without the need for significant changes to their infrastructure. This interoperability is powered by advanced technologies that facilitate data migration and retrieval, ensuring a smooth transition for organizations looking to optimize their storage strategies.

Additionally, HP FSE is equipped with robust reporting and analytics capabilities. This functionality provides organizations with insights into their storage usage, helping them understand data patterns and optimize their storage environments accordingly. By having visibility into which files are accessed most frequently and which are rarely used, organizations can make informed decisions on data retention policies and storage management.

Security is paramount in data management, and HP FSE addresses this concern by implementing advanced data protection features. This includes data encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with industry regulations, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded throughout its lifecycle.

Overall, HP File System Extender is a comprehensive data storage solution that combines intelligent data management, seamless integration, insightful analytics, and robust security features. By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can efficiently manage their unstructured data, lower costs, and enhance operational efficiency, making it an invaluable tool in today’s data-driven landscape.
