nvserverd does not store events to be sent to TEC.   But the TEC library code might.

nvserverd is linked with the TEC EEIF library and functions just like any other UNIX TEC adapter.  The way that it works is that events selected to go to TEC by the TEC ruleset are formatted and are then passed on to the adapter library code with the function tec_put_event( ).  After that, nvserverd is done with the event,  and has no knowledge of whether the event ever gets to TEC.  The actual sending of the event is the TEC library's job.    When you set the value NvserverdServerdTraceTecEvents=YES in the tecint.conf file, what you are seeing in the nvserverd.log file is a copy of that event immediately before the tec_put_event( ) is done.  


It is up to the TEC library code to send the event, and if it loses contact with the TEC server, to store the events in a cache file to be sent later when contact is re-established.  By default the cache file is in /etc/Tivoli/tec  but you can add the BufEvtPath  keyword to the tecint.conf file to change the location to be somewhere of your own choosing,

You can read more about additional keywords and how TEC adapters work in the TEC Event Adapters Guide, and about how they are constructed in the Tivoli Event Integration Facility User's Guide.

[nv-l] Where does nvserverd store cached events with FixPack02






Hi


NV 7.14 with Fixpack 02


Where does nvserverd store cached events that are waiting to sent to TEC ???

If an event is logged in /usr/OV/log/nvserverd.log - is that event then received and proccesed on TEC..?



regards
