HP Systems Insight Manager uses an audit log and a database to track activity and store your management domain information.

HP Systems Insight Manager Audit Log

HP Systems Insight Manager logs all tasks performed by all HP Systems Insight Manager users on all systems. The information is stored in the audit log on the CMS. HP Systems Insight Manager logs all tasks with the following information:

  • Time stamp

  • User name

  • Systems

  • Event

  • Tool result

For command tools, the verbose level of stdout and stderr is frequently large and time-sensitive, so it is only logged by default for the ps command. The option to log this output for the ps and other commands is configurable. In addition, other aspects of the audit log, such as maximum file size, is also configurable. Information about configuring the audit log is available in Chapter 14 “Configuration Options” and in the "Administering the Software" section of the HP Systems Insight Manager online help.

Database

HP Systems Insight Manager uses a database to store vital management domain information. The database contains information about:

  • Authorizations

  • Systems

  • System lists

  • System group definitions

  • Users

  • Passwords

  • Toolbox definitions

  • Tool definitions

  • Events

  • Inventory data

Database Software

HP Systems Insight Manager supports the use of several databases:

  • An HP-UX or Linux CMS uses PostgreSQL.

  • A Windows CMS uses Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) or Microsoft SQL 2000. HP Systems Insight Manager ships with MSDE, but you can choose to use Microsoft SQL 2000, which provides more advanced enterprise features.
