As part of Tru64 UNIX, Event Manager provides a centralized
means of gathering, distributing, storing, and retrieving
event information, regardless how the events are posted.
Now all system event information (hardware and software)
is more accessible.
Event Manager provides a single point of focus for multiple
event channels by combining events from all sources into
a single event stream. You can either monitor the combined
stream in real time or view historical events retrieved
from storage.
The Event Manager logger captures posted events and
stores them in a system log file. You can Also capture
your own set of events, using the logger or the monitoring
utility, and store them in your own file for later analysis.
Event Manager's viewing facilities include a graphical
event viewer, which is integrated with the SysMan Menu
and SysMan Station, and a full set of command line
utilities, which allow events to be filtered, sorted,
and formatted in a variety of ways. You can also configure
Event Manager to perform automatic notification of
selected conditions.
