Event Correlation Example - IBM Enterprise Console Manual

v To find details about event arrivals for the circuits and streams, use the
following command:
v To turn on tracing to see the OpenView events received, use the following
command:
This trace file is located in $OV_LOG/ecs/<ecs-instance#>/ecsin.evt#
v To turn on tracing to see the OpenView stream events received, use the
following command:
The trace files for the stream output events are located in $OV_LOG/ecs/<ecs-
instance#>/<stream-name>_sout.evt#
The trace files for the discarded stream events are located in
$OV_LOG/ecs/<ecs-instance#>/<stream-name>_sdis.evt#
The following example turns on stream event tracing for a stream named
default:
v To turn on tracing to see the OpenView circuit events received, use the following
command:
The trace files for the circuit output events are located in $OV_LOG/ecs/<ecs-
instance#>/<circuit-name>_cout.evt#
The trace files for the discarded circuit events are located in
$OV_LOG/ecs/<ecs-instance#>/<circuit-name>_cdis.evt#
The following example turns on circuit event tracing for a stream named
PairWise:

Event Correlation Example

The following event passes through circuits named PairWise and ConnectorDown.
When the HPOVFilter value passed to OVsnmpEventOpen is
forwarded to the adapter because the stream default is not being used. If the
HPOVFilter value is
discard trace file.
Note: You must watch the circuit and stream trace files to see when this event is
discarded. This event sometimes is sent to the adapter instead. Keep the
message text changing slightly so that you can identify a specific event.
Also, send multiple events until the discard trace file for the stream default
shows the event is discarded, which indicates that the event was not sent to
the adapter.
The following event is sent to the adapter when HPOVFilter is set to
:
<stream-name>
circuit-name
, you can only see the event in the circuit
, the event is
