    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
    AEDT; 28s ago

    Process: 3631 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nsmeventd start (code=exited,
    status=7)

    Mar 03 19:43:41 storage-mgr systemd[1]: nsmeventd.service: Failed with
    result 'exit-code'.

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

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

    Any thoughts?

    Regards
    Robert
