Configuring Indication Filters

HP-Defined Filters

HP-Defined filters are defined by HP, and are present in the FMD repository at the time of installation. You can enable or disable HP-Defined filters. To enable HP-Defined filters, run fmdcontrol enable at the HP-UX prompt. To disable HP-Defined filters, run fmdcontrol disable at the HP-UX prompt. Indications fulfilling the conditions in the HP-Known HP-Defined filters are logged in the Event Archive. These subscriptions ensure that all the indications recommended by HP for system management are logged in the Event Archive.

Admin-Defined Filters

You can create, delete, and modify Admin-Defined filters by using the fmdcontrol command. You can also enable or disable Admin-Defined filters. HP does not provide any Admin-Defined filter. You must create filters. By default, the FMD Provider does not log indications fulfilling the conditions in the Admin-Defined filters, in the Event Archive. You must modify the Admin-Defined filters to log indications in the Event Archive.

For more information about the fmdcontrolcommand and its options, runman fmdcontrol at the HP-UX prompt.
