Customizing the Home Page

Customize the HP Systems Insight Manager Home page to select which page displays when HP Systems Insight Manager is first started and to disable sections in the default introductory page.

To customize the Home page:

Click Home in the banner to display the Home page in the workspace.
Click Customize in the upper-right corner of the introductory page.
Note: If the Home page has been set to something other than the default introductory page, you can access the Home Page Settings page by selecting OptionsHome Page Settings.
Specify which page you want to use as Home page:
- Introductory page (default)
- System Overview page
- Any specific system, cluster, or event collection
Note: The default introductory page is only available when it is set as the Home page. If you want to view this page when it is not set as your home page, reselect it as the Home page.
(Optional) If the introductory page is selected as your home page, customize the content on the page by selecting or clearing the following options:
- Show "Do this now to finish the install" frame. If selected, this section appears on the Home page.
- Show the "Did You Know?" image. If selected, the image in the bottom right corner of the Home page appears.

Customizing the System Status Panel

Customize the System Status panel to display the following status information:

Uncleared Event Status. A count that indicates the number of uncleared event statuses that are Critical, Major, Minor, and Normal for any given system collection. Each number is a hyperlink to a detailed list of events with that particular status. By clicking the number, an event collection appears with those particular events and their corresponding systems.
Health Status. A count that indicates the number of systems, in a given system collection, that have a system health status that is Critical, Major, Minor, and Normal. Each number is a hyperlink to a detailed list of systems with that particular status. By clicking the number, a system collection appears with those particular systems. Health status is not shown by default but can be configured to appear.
Alarm. An alarm can be customized to appear for specific criteria for any given system collection. The alarm alerts you that a particular criterion has been met by one or more systems in that collection. Because the Status panel is continually updated, the alarm appears until the event is cleared, the system is removed from the collection, or the alarm customization is changed so that it no longer applies. If the System Status panel is collapsed, and an alarm occurs, it opens automatically so that the alarm is visible. You can collapse the panel, but it continues to open as long as the alarm is relevant. To have the panel remain collapsed, you must clear the offending event or system status or reconfigure the status display to no longer display alarms.
Legend of status icons. To display a list of status icons, click Legend in the System Status panel. Legend information appears in a separate window and remains open until you close it.
