This chapter
describes how the Event Manager monitors multiple event sources
and combines them into a single event stream. By default, the logger
is configured to send e-mails to the superuser when events with
a priority of 600 (alert) or greater are posted. You must review
the full event log on a daily basis, using the command-line utilities.
You can also configure the logger to take other actions, such as
sending a pager message according to any criteria you choose. In
addition, you can monitor events at your terminal as they occur,
using the evmwatch command.
