or out-band communication; in-band communication is most often used and preferred. If the
InterServe system or the network is not functional, only out-band communication is possible.
If the ISM software and the LANDesk Server Manager detect hardware events (such as a
temperature breaking tolerance) or software events (such as a session login access violation),
an alert (also known as a trap) is sent to the monitoring console or the system administrator as
follows:
1.
If the ISM board can communicate with its Windows NT driver, it sends an in-band alert
to the monitoring console.
2.
If the ISM board cannot communicate with its Windows NT driver, it attempts to send the
alert out-band (with its modem) to the monitoring console.
3.
If the ISM board cannot deliver the alert out-band to the defined monitoring console, it
attempts to send the alert to a pager.
4.
If the pager service is not configured, the alert is not delivered.
You can configure ISM to deliver out-band alerts depending on the day and time. For
example, you can configure ISM to only send out-band alerts to a pager after regular work
hours. See the LANDesk Server Manager Help and the Intel LANDesk Server Monitor
Module User's Guide for more information.
Monitoring Software Overview
The LANDesk Server Manager software on a monitoring console monitors a Windows NT-
based InterServe system for events you specify.
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Event Forwarder (part of LANDesk
Server Manager) is used to specify which applications and services to monitor on the server.
The SNMP Event Viewer, when run on the monitoring console, displays the in-band alerts
sent from the server.
Although the SNMP Event Forwarder and SNMP Event Viewer allows you to configure the
applications and services to monitor, you can only configure a sound file (.
the Event Viewer detects a particular event. You also cannot save the list of events and alerts
to a file.
To configure and use SNMP Event Forwarder and SNMP Event Viewer, see SNMP Event
Forwarder Help.
