The server monitoring the client systems in the network using SFM.

A command-line tool used to update the Common Error Repository.

An entity in WBEM architecture which sends CIM Operation requests and receives CIM Operation responses. For example, HP SIM and other network management applications are considered CIM clients.

The component of WBEM that manages the interaction between the providers and other modules in the WBEM environment. It is also known as CIMOM.

An online, searchable, and updateable error repository.

An object-based model for describing managed resources. CIM uses the object-oriented paradigm, where managed objects are modeled using the concepts of classes and instances.

The component of WBEM that manages the interaction between the providers and other modules in the WBEM environment. CIMOM manages CIM objects. It receives and processes CIM operation requests and issues responses.

A recipient of services. For example, an indication consumer will receive indications (events) that occur in system hardware components.

The solution to an error message that is provided by the administrator.

A command-line tool used to create extracts and encrypt them.

To check whether subscriptions to indications are present.

A user component that enables you to obtain information about errors generated on an HP-UX 11i v3 system.

Information about errors such as error description, error number, error type, severity, cause of the error, and corrective actions.

An alert generated when an unusual activity is detected on a monitored hardware device.

Database for indications. Indications generated on hardware devices are logged in this location.

A component of EVWEB used to subscribe to indications.

A component of EVWEB used to view indications present in the Event Archive.

User component that enables administering and viewing WBEM indications generated on the system on which SFM is installed.

These are subscriptions created by tools other than EVWEB.

Binary files that contain error metadata.

The command used to configure software error logging parameters.

The command used to create, delete, and modify Admin-Defined filters.

A component of EVWEB to send indications to the configured email address.

They are configured by the Filter Metadata (FMD) Provider to set the criteria for the indications that must be logged.

It translates events generated by the Event Monitoring Service (EMS) monitors into WBEM indications, and reports them to the CIMOM.

A representation of the actual physical object that belongs to a class.

It provides information about devices, such as model number and serial number of a CPU. In the Support Tools Manager (STM), this functionality is accomplished by Information (Info) Tools.

A file that includes details about the SFM software installation and removal.

A hardware device that is monitored.

Any application that can be used to query for information about monitored devices and view indications and instances. Examples: HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH).

STM command to display the properties supported on the system.

The output of a command that indicates that Event Archive Database service is running properly.

Configuring SFM for consumers to receive indications. For example, HP SIM could subscribe to indications generating on hardware devices on a system.

The name of the bundle that includes the SFM software.

Tracing is an error-logging and reporting facility provided by EVWEB and EMT.
