Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I'm still having issues getting
the event monitor working on OES 2018. The engine and the agent work
fine, but the event monitor won't start.

I think I've done everything correctly. I installed with nodeps and I've
turned off fips as per the doco and restarted the server (noting that
the example seemed to be wrong, I used ndsconfig set
n4u.server.fips_tls=1 rather than ndsconfig set n4u.server.fips=1 which
gave an error about incorrect property.)

When I try to start nsmeventd it fails. The information is:

● nsmeventd.service - LSB: NSM Event Monitor
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nsmeventd; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2018-03-03 19:43:41

There is nothing in /var/opt/novell/storagemanager/event

/var/log/messages showed nothing more than the stuff above.

Any thoughts?

Regards
Robert
