MSA1000 Software Tools System Event Analyzer (SEA) System Event Analyzer is a host-based fault analysis utility included with the Web-Based Service Enterprise (WEBES) service tools. Each WEBES service tool adds functionality to the Directory, 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 (also called the system event log or error 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. After the problem report is created, it is distributed in accordance with the customer's notification preferences. SEA features: ■ Error event analysis and translation ■ Multi-event correlation (view events, traps, and so on) ■ Manual and automatic (real-time) analysis capabilities on local or remote machines ■ Filtering capabilities on error logs ■ Automatic notification (customer or HP Support Center) ■ Rule-based (allowing more frequent updates) ■ Proactive indictment with the operating system ■ Web and command line interfaces For more information, go to the HP website at http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/webes/?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN and search on the keyword WEBES. 32 HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array Reference Guide
