SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool ( ) is used to monitor resource
instances and manages requests created on these instances.
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool provides both Web-based and
terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through
the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Event Monitoring
Service tool. A user who does not have superuser privileges has read-
only access to the requests area in the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service
tool and cannot modify requests.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser
running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. If
a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise
a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only happen
if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that
referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (emsweb)
invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other
browser (Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as shown
below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following condi‐
tions are true:
· The command is invoked with the option.
· The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are
true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is set.
· The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal
user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server
and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network
traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and
the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal inter‐
face is started.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface
is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key
is generated. The bypass key enables the user to
access the Web interface without having to provide
login information again.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface
is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
Opens the terminal interface for managing requests created to
monitor resource instances regardless of the current setting of
the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool using one of
the following methods:
· Invoke and select the Event Monitoring Service (character
mode) functional area to launch the terminal user interface
and the Event Monitoring Service (Web-based Interface) to
launch the Web-based tool
· Invoke the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool Web interface
by typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where
hostname is the name of the server
· Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and
select the Event Monitoring Service tool from the Configure
-> HP-UX Configuration menu
