NEC ESMPRO AGENT SERVICES

The NEC ESMPRO Agent offers the following services.
The NEC ESMPRO Common Monitoring Service tracks the status of the system board,
CPU boards, and server environment.
The NEC ESMPRO System Management Service tracks the status of the system board,
CPU boards, and server environment
The NEC ESMPRO Storage Monitoring Service and the NEC ESMPRO File System
Monitoring Service track the File System as well as the status of hard disks.
The NEC ESMPRO LAN Monitoring Service tracks the status of the network (LAN) to
which the server and the LAN controllers are connected.
Alert Manager, Alert Manager Main Service, Alert Manager Socket Send Service manage
the alerts occurring on the server. They notify the NEC ESMPRO Manager of the alerts
using SNMP or TCP/IP, Mail, Pager, pop up message, or other method. They also record
alert messages in the Windows event log.
SNMP service
The NEC ESMPRO Agent has its own MIB enhancement to the standard Windows SNMP
service to implement information management.
The NEC ESMPRO S/W Power Switch Service detects power switch off signal and then
executes shutdown before having a server powered off. This service is not available for all
server models since it depends on H/W capability to enable S/W to control power off.

Logging

Various hardware and software components of the server monitor the status of resources and record
errors in log files such as the event log which is a standard feature in Windows. The NEC ESMPRO
Agent references these logs and passes information to the NEC ESMPRO Manager, mail, pager, or
other device. The contents of the event log can be viewed using the event viewer (also a standard
feature of Windows system).
