Indication Providers

SFM includes one indication provider called the EMS Wrapper Provider. This provider converts hardware events received from EMS Hardware Monitors into WBEM indications. The EMS Hardware Monitors constantly monitor the system hardware resources for any unusual activity. When any unusual activity is detected on a monitored resource, the EMS monitor that is monitoring the resource generates an event that includes details of the problem and notify the EMS Wrapper Provider through the EMS framework. The EMS Wrapper Provider receives these events and converts them into WBEM indications.

The EMS Wrapper Provider then reports these indications to the CIMOM. Using a WBEM-based management application, such as HP SIM, you can subscribe to and receive Event Monitoring Service (EMS) events generated on a remote system. On the system on which SFM is installed, you can use an SFM tool called EVWEB to view and administer events through the HP SMH interface.

NOTE

The terms events and indications are used interchangeably.
