This chapter provides an overview of the operation HP-UX HIDS and the procedures used to get the System Manager and agents up and running on the administrative and monitored systems. This chapter addresses the following topics:
HP-UX HIDS must have appropriate surveillance schedules running at the appropriate times on the agent hosts. It is also important to carefully monitor and act on alerts.
First, you must create one or more surveillance schedules with the System Manager and download them to the agent hosts. For more information, see “Starting HP-UX HIDS for the First Time”.
Second, use the System Manager to monitor alerts and decide what action to take in response. You can also develop automated response programs to take action based on alerts.
