send EMS event with tcp

[Hubert Griessmann]

I want to send my EMS events from a lot of host to one host. I want to do it with tcp. what have I to config at the central host to listen at the tcp port?

I don't think there's a ready-made way to do that, for the receiving end.

You can configure with monconfig which TCP port to deliver the notifications to.

You can write your own client to accept the notifications - see the EMS toolkit at http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B7611BA

Writing a Target Application, page 144.

I think you can also do things with OpenView and SNMP.

You could also look into HP SIM, which uses WBEM, and is the way things are going in the future. You would need to install SysFaultMgmt, which includes a wrapper that sends EMS events to HP SIM. This is on 11.23 only.

See http://www.docs.hp.com/en/diag.html#System%20Fault%20Management%20%28SysFaultMgmt%29
and
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html#HP%20Systems%20Insight%20Manager

Hope this helps.
