Master log 4

Master log

Event monitoring enables early fault detection and isolation on a selected adapter. When applicable events occur during adapter operation, the adapter driver generates event messages. These messages are captured in your host system logs. These messages are also captured in an agtEvent.log file by the HCM agent and displayed in the HCM master log. Note that message display may differ in your host system log and the HCM master log; however, messages will most likely contain the following information:

•Message ID

•Description

•Severity level

•Event category

•Cause of event

•Recommended action

•Date and time event occured

Message details are also contained in HTML files, which load into your system when you install the adapter driver. You can view these HTML files using any internet browser application. Refer to the Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide for details of all driver event messages.

NOTE

To avoid processing of older events in first-time event discovery, an event will be considered for processing if it has occurred within the last 20 seconds, or not greater than the discovery interval. The agent and the HCM GUI application must be running in the same time zone and at the right time.
