Retrieval of OA old events using OpenHPI

[openhpi2]

I am using OpenHPI to retrieve the events from Onboard Administrator(OA) but currently OpenHPI plug-ins are able to retrieve only the live events but not the old events present in OA. So Please update OpenHPI SOAP plug-in which will be able to retrieve the old OA events(history events) from OA and also should be able to clear all the old events present in OA.

Need for the above requirement: I have a process running on HP blade server which continuously monitors the events generated from OA. If this process goes down or if the blade server is hung then a process/server restart will be made upon which the operator will be interested in knowing the events that had occurred during the absence of event monitoring process. Also the old events will be helpful in debugging the customer system faults.

Naveen,

The OA events are handled by OpenHPI as they come in. OpenHPI sends the events from the time it starts (not the events that happened in OA before OpenHPI started). These old events are retained by OpenHPI till they are cleared by the user. But the events remain on the OA.

Right now there are no calls that can delete the events on the OA. Once cleared OpenHPI standard does not have any calls to bring back the old events.

Need to discuss what is needed here. If the events that happened outside of OpenHPI are needed then it may be better to get them from outside.

Hi,

We have started with the implementation of this request. In order to that we will capture the old oa event logs in a file and place it to specific location. This log file will be generated once we are starting the openhpi daemon, and it will have the all old oa logs. We are in process of code changes and will be ready with a sample file of oa events log in few days.
