The Event Consoler Web Services Adapter is a relatively simple
component and therefore has only a few administrative tasks that can be
used by an IT Administrator.
- Starting the
adapter
- You may need to start the adapter after a maintenance window or
after making certain configuration changes.
- Stopping the adapter
- You may need to stop the adapter prior to maintenance windows or
before making certain configuration changes.
- Enterprise
Console forwarding configuration
- The Web Services adapter uses a configuration file to tailor the
forwarding of events to an Enterprise Console server. The configuration
settings are stored in the
conf/cbe_adapter.conf
file and
can be modified to reflect aspects such as a new location for the
Enterprise Console server or whether events should be stored locally
when the Enterprise Console server cannot be reached.
- Enterprise
Console event class definitions
- The Web Services Adapter uses event class definitions stored in the
Enterprise Console BAROC file format to determine how events are
converted from the Common Base Event format to the Enterprise Console
event format. Proper care on using the same set of BAROC files on both
adapter and server is required to ensure that the correct information
is forwarded from the adapter to the server.
- TCP ports
configuration
- The configuration for the TCP ports monitored by the Web Services
Adapter can be modified to include, modify or remove ports as needed.
Additional ports can be used to support different qualities of service
between event sources and the adapter or ports can be removed to
increase reduce security exposures.
Windows Service configuration
- On Windows systems, the installation for the Enterprise Console Web
Services Adapter also register a Windows Service, named tecws, so that you can start the adapter without
having to logon with a user and password.
