19.4 Installing Insight Control for Linux management agents
The Insight Control for Linux management agents are deployed to all managed systems to gather
monitoring data from managed systems. Doing so enables Nagios and Supermon to collect data
from managed systems. This deployment is performed automatically as part of the
Options→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services task.
You can deploy the Insight Control for Linux management agents manually at any time to reinstall
agents on a managed system. For example, in case the agents failed to install during the
Options→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services task or if you reimaged a managed
system that you want to monitor.
IMPORTANT: This task requires that HP SIM SSH keys be successfully configured on all managed
systems. For more information, see Section 8.3.4 (page 85).
Follow these steps if you deploy the management agents to a managed system in the
{collection_name}_Servers subcollection manually:
1. Select the following menu item from the HP Insight Control user interface:
Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→IC-Linux→Install Agents...
2. Select the {collection_name}_Servers subcollection as the target.
3. Select Next.
4. When processing is complete, select the following menu item to review the log files to
determine if the operation was successful:
Tasks & Logs→View Task Results
5. Select the Stdout and Stderr tabs on the tasks results screen to see more information. Review
the output in the Stdout and Stderr tabs and proceed to Section 19.5 (page 167) if no errors
are found.
19.5 Verifying successful configuration of the monitoring services
To verify successful configuration of the monitoring services, HP recommends that you perform
the following tasks:
1. “Ensuring that Nagios is reporting status” (page 168)
2. “Summarizing service status” (page 168)
3. Ensure that the pdsh command can run a command across all the managed systems. For
example:
# pdsh -a uptime
