System Event Analyzer
2.1 Summary
Rev. 9/8/06
2–2 Web-Based Enterprise Services Release Notes
2.1 Summary
System Event Analyzer (SEA) is a fault analysis utility included with the Web-Based
Enterprise Services (WEBES) service tools. Each WEBES-based service tool adds
functionality to the Director, 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 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. Once the problem
report is created, it is distributed in accordance with the customer’s notification preferences.
SEA supplies a web-based user interface that connects to the Director and can perform a
variety of tasks from a remotely connected web browser. In addition, a set of command-line
tools enable diagnosis of binary event logs without connecting to the Director.
2.2 Supported Products
Although WEBES can be installed on any of the hardware and operating system combinations
shown in Chapter 1, SEA only supports event bit-to-text translation and event analysis on the
following set of HP products. The list grows with each subsequent SEA release.The following
list includes the products that SEA supports.
This list also is available in the WEBES User Guide. In the event of any discrepancy between
this list and the WEBES User Guide, the release notes take precedence.
