Hp Insight Management Agents; Obtaining The Hp Insight Management Agent Package - HP BL860c Installation Manual

HP Insight Management Agents

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:
Server Agents:
NIC Agents:
Storage Agents:
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:
