Introduction
Hardware Monitoring Overview
Benefits of Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring provides the following benefits:
•
Reduces system downtime by detecting hardware failures when they occur, allowing you to quickly
identify and correct problems.
•
Integrates with MC/ServiceGuard and other applications responsible for maintaining system availability.
These applications can now add many hardware resources to the components they monitor.
•
Minimizes the time required to isolate and repair failures through detailed messages describing what the
problem is and how to fix it.
•
Includes a default monitoring configuration that offers immediate protection for your system hardware
without any intervention on your part after monitoring is enabled.
•
Provides a common tool for monitoring a wide variety of system hardware resources.
•
Offers a variety of notification methods to alert you when a problem occurs. You no longer need to check
the system console to determine if something has gone wrong.
•
Requires minimal maintenance once installed and configured. New hardware resources added to the
system are automatically included in the monitoring structure.
