Event Management
Chapter 8: Administering Critical Events 279
Configure the Event Agent
When Event Agents are installed, configuration settings are applied
automatically based on your installation choices. You may need to change some
settings later, however. This topic provides information for Windows and
UNIX/Linux.
Windows
Run the cautenv utility from the command line of the Event Manager or Event
Agent.
■ On the Event Manager:
oprcmd -n agent-name cautenv setlocal envname value
■ On Event Agents:
oprcmd cautenv setlocal envname value
Note: The user running the commands must be listed in CA_OPR_AUTH_LIST
(Users Authorized To Run Commands) on the agent computers.
The following are examples of settings that can be changed. Substitute envname
with one of the following environment variables.
CA_OPR_USEDB (Load from Management Database?)
Specifies whether the Event daemon should use the Management Database.
Set this to N because Event Agent installations have no database.
CA_OPR_PROXY (Event Agent Proxy Node)
Indicates the name of the Event Manager server that provides policy to the
Event Agent. If no value is specified, policies are loaded from the local DSB
file.
CA_OPERA_NODE (Console Daemon Node)
Specifies the name of the server where event messages are forwarded. You
may want to set CA_OPERA_NODE to the local agent computer so that it
processes its own events. You may need to use Event policies to forward
some events to the manager for processing.
UNIX/Linux
To change Event Management settings on UNIX/Linux, edit the configuration
files $CAIGLBL0000/opr/scripts/envset and $CAIGLBL0000/opr/scripts/envusr.
For example, the following variable is set in the envset file based on the response
to an installation question.
CAI_OPR_REMOTEDB (Event Agent Proxy Node)
Indicates the name of the Event Manager server that provides policy to the
Event Agent.
