2 Introducing NEC ESMPRO

CONFIGURATION

NEC ESMPRO consists of a Manager program that runs on a management computer and an Agent
program that runs on servers to be managed.
The Manager collects hardware, software, and firmware information from Agents
connected to the network. The Manager displays Agent information, failures, and error
logs on the screen.
The Agent monitors server hardware, software and firmware and transmits the information
over the network to the Manager using SNMP. The Agent lets you view system settings
and reset some NEC ESMPRO thresholds locally. See the NEC ESMPRO Agent User's
Guide.
Each managed server must have the Agent installed and running. Using SNMP, the Agent sends data
across the network to the Manager, which collects the server information.
In addition, when you install both IIS and the Web Component on the management computer, you
can manage servers through the web browser.
The following figure shows a sample Manager/Agent Configuration.
