Discovery - HP NonStop EMS event statistical analysis and graphing
The Reflex 80:20 Discovery module allows you to discover what has been happening or has happened to your HP NonStop system(s). By collecting event statistics and displaying them in a graphical format the Discovery module increases your system efficiency by reducing the risk and consequences of missing events.
EMS event data collected can be analysed in order to set priorities for automation, identify trends, bottlenecks etc. High frequency events can be passed to the React module of Reflex 80:20, where automatic responses maybe configured to deal with them, e.g. SMS mobile message, enterprise manager alert, SNMP, email, task initiation and so on.
The Statistics Request feature allows you to submit a request to collect event statistics for a specific period. Event statistics can be collected for all events within a specified time period if you are interested in general trends - which EMS events occur most often and so on.
Event Statistics can also be collected for a subset of events if you are interested in specific problems or EMS events - for example, those relating to X25 lines or BASE24 XPNET components. Event filtration and submission in this way can remove irrelevant events and decrease the likelihood of critical events being overlooked.
The gathered event statistics can either be viewed graphically by using the Display by Event / Subsystem feature, or sent to a PC file which can then be ported to a PC for use with a spreadsheet package etc.
Since the Display by Event view displays the frequency of Events, you may decide to set-up an automated response to deal with commonly occurring events. The display by Event feature allows you to directly select an event and bring it into context within the Reflex 80:20 React module where response's may be configured for it.
Discovery is also available as a TACL level utility for producing statistical reports sent to SPOOLCOM.
STATCOLL - HP NonStop EMS event message statistical analysis and reporting
The STATCOLL TACL utility allows you to discover what has been happening or has happened to your HP NonStop system(s). By collecting event statistics and displaying them in a management report broken down by subsystem and event, the utility increases your system efficiency by reducing the risk and consequences of missing events.

The gathered event statistics can be viewed on screen or sent to a PC file which can then be ported to a PC for use with a spreadsheet package etc.
STATCOLL is also available as a GUI module within the Reflex product (called Discovery) for producing graphical reports in a bar-chart format and also sent out to SPOOLCOM.
Hardware and software pre-requisites for the Reflex product are detailed below:
• HP NonStop (ServerNet or Integrity platforms)
• Guardian D38 Operating System (or above)
• TMF
• SQL runtime system (SQL/MP runtime), or alternatively, NonStop SQL product
• Pathway (TS/MP)
• TCP/IP
• Non-RDF/DRNET Audited Volume *
* It is recommended that Reflex is installed on a Non-RDF/DRNET Audited Volume. If this is a cause for concern, please contact Insider Technologies Ltd to discuss further.
Reflex is installed using a menu driven TACL macro for easy deployment. The macro will perform checks and output the results of each stage of the Reflex product install so that if problems are encountered they can be resolved easily.
Windows Platform for GUI Install:
• Modern Pentium PC Specification
• 32Mb on-board RAM
• 20Mb free hard disk space
• Minimum 17” monitor recommended
