System Event Analyzer (SEA)

System Event Analyzer is a host-based fault analysis utility included with the
Web-Based Service Enterprise (WEBES) service tools. Each WEBES service tool
adds functionality to the Directory, a process (or set of processes) that executes
continuously. SEA provides the Director with the capability to capture and
interpret hardware events. The analysis of events can be performed automatically
or when requested by an outside process.
SEA provides background automatic analysis by monitoring the active binary
event log (also called the system event log or error log) and processing events as
they occur. The events in the binary event log file are checked against the analysis
rules. If one or more of the events in the binary event log file meets the conditions
specified in the rules, the analysis engine collects the error data and creates a
problem report containing a description of the problem and any corrective actions
required. After the problem report is created, it is distributed in accordance with
the customer's notification preferences.
