Master log
Event monitoring enables early fault detection and isolation on a selected adapter. When
applicable events occur during adapter operation, the adapter driver generates event messages.
These messages are captured in your host system logs. These messages are also captured in an
agtEvent.log file by the HCM agent and displayed in the HCM master log. Note that message display
may differ in your host system log and the HCM master log; however, messages will most likely
contain the following information:
• Message ID
• Description
• Severity level
• Event category
• Cause of event
• Recommended action
• Date and time event occured
Message details are also contained in HTML files, which load into your system when you install the
adapter driver. You can view these HTML files using any internet browser application. Refer to the
Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide for details of all driver event messages.
NOTE
To avoid processing of older events in first-time event discovery, an event will be considered for
processing if it has occurred within the last 20 seconds, or not greater than the discovery interval.
The agent and the HCM GUI application must be running in the same time zone and at the right time.
