The HP Insight Management Agents package is made of multiple components that monitor various aspects of system health and inventory. These components and their functions are:
- Foundation Agents:
Provide event monitoring, installed software inventory, system utilization information, alarm thresholds.
- Server Agents:
Provide event monitoring, system inventory, CPUs, PCI, memory, cellular information, LED states
- NIC Agents:
Provide event monitoring, network statistics, configuration reporting
- Storage Agents:
Provide event monitoring, storage statistics, configuration reporting
HP Insight Management Agents are based on SNMP. Once the agents are installed on your HP Integrity server, you can remotely monitor configuration information and system status on that server from any SNMP browser.
A CMS using HP SIM integrates with HP System Management Homepage to collect agent information for display in reports, allowing you to monitor system use and to troubleshoot problems.
You do not need a thorough understanding of SNMP to use HP’s manageability tools or HP Insight Management Agents; however, more details on the SNMP protocol are available at the following Web site:
