sfm.log and event.log

[A.G.M. Velthof]

Hello to all,

can someone tell me what the difference is between the sfm.log and event..log?

It appears that the sfm.log is a log for the SysFaultManager product itself, while the event.log is a log where actual system events (disk, memory events, etc) are stored by default.

Hi,

 System Fault Management :

The SFM software is a collection of tools used to monitor the health of HP servers running HP-UX.

SFM retrieves information about a system’s hardware devices such as CPU, memory, power supply, and cooling devices. SFM operates within the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) environment

• The log file for sfm provider module is /var/opt/sfm/log/sfm.log
• The events monitored by sfm are logged to /var/opt/sfm/log/event.log
