HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux

number in a column is a hyperlink to a more detailed list of systems, which displays the systems
that correspond to the number in the overview.
system properties properties can be set for a single system or for multiple systems at the same time and include
options such as system name, system type, system sub-type, operating system version, asset
number, contact information, and whether or not the system properties can be changed or updated
by the discovery process.
system search Logical grouping of systems into a collection based on information in the HP Systems Insight
Manager database. After a search is defined, you can display the results from the system view
page or associate it with a management task.
system search
results
The result of a system search.
system status
panel
The section of the GUI on the left of the screen that displays status information and system or
event alarms.
system type One of 12 supplied types. You can add your own based on one of these types. For example,
use Server type to create MyServer type. It is still a server and is reported on in the same way,
but it has your designation.
System Type
Manager
A utility that enables you to modify the default behavior of the discovery and identification of
objects classified as Unknown or as another category of systems are discovered and identified
precisely as you require. HP Systems Insight Manager discovers and identifies the system and
applies the new information when an Unknown system matches a rule set that you specify as the
primary rule set. Furthermore, creating the new system type provides a System Link page for
viewing the information returned from the system agent or from the communication protocol of
SNMP.

specific set of arguments.
task scheduling A master scheduling tool for the scheduling of polling, control, and notification tasks.
template A tool that specifies the requirements for an infrastructure service in terms of server groups,
networks, storage, and contain customization points that use HP Operations Orchestration
workflows during the execution of request.
template files Template files are a concept that was used before HP Systems Insight Manager had multiple
automatic discovery tasks. Template files should no longer be used. However, a template file
enables you to create the same data range (IP ranges, and so on) that would be entered in a
discover IP inclusion range. The automatic discovery task can have as input one or more template
files. However, template files cannot be nested.

or software management. Each HP Systems Insight Manager toolbox is associated with a set of
tools and authorizations.
trap An unsolicited message generated by a management agent that indicates that an event has
occurred. For example, a monitored item has exceeded a set threshold or changed status.
