' The web interface provides browser-based access to Compaq Analyze. You can use the web interface to connect to the Director on your local machine or on remote machines and analyze and translate their binary event log files.

µ Event information in the system event log is stored in binary format. Translation is the process of converting this binary data into readable text. By default, the web interface performs translation as part of analysis, and translation information is shown along with analysis results. However, it is possible to only perform translation. See Section 3.6 for more information on how the web interface presents translation information. Refer to Chapter 4 for more information on translation, interpreting translated events, and default translation settings.

! The information from binary event log files can be used to detect hardware failures on the system. When the system writes an event to a binary event log file, Compaq Analyze processes the event according to the registered rule sets. The rule sets contain the information necessary to interpret events. When an event matches the conditions described in the rule sets, Compaq Analyze creates a problem report containing information about the event and proposed resolutions. This process is called analysis. See Section 3.6 for more information on how the web interface presents analysis information. Refer to Chapter 5 for more information on analysis and its results.
„ The web interface can perform automatic and manual analysis.

7 When the Director is started, Compaq Analyze initiates automatic analysis. In automatic mode, Compaq Analyze continuously monitors the binary system event log and processes events as they arrive. Problem reports are generated as necessary.
Á For more information about automatic analysis operations and output, refer to Chapter 5.

( Manual analysis also compares the events from log files to the registered rule sets and generates problem reports. However, unlike automatic analysis, you must manually select each binary event log file you want to process.
¾ For more information about manual analysis operations and output, refer to Chapter 5.

ô The results of automatic analysis can be sent to remote systems using SMTP or SICL. Refer to Chapter 7 for more information on notification.

ó You can filter the contents of existing binary event logs and create a new binary event log file containing a subset of the events from the originals. When you create a new binary log file, Compaq Analyze checks the events in the original binary event log file (input file) against the filter statement. All the events that meet the criteria specified by the filter statement are added to the new binary event log file (output file). The new binary event log file can then be used for analysis, translation, or any other Compaq Analyze process. For more information on using the web interface to create a new binary event log file, refer to Section 3.8.
