Systems Insight Manager 6.1 User Guide

Delete Old Noisy Events
Includes events that are transient and happen frequently, but do not generally indicate hardware failures.
For example, link up, link down, and authentication events. These events fill the event database tables, but
do not add value to the hardware event history.
Delete Events Older Than 90 Days
This task deletes events older than 90 days and can help maintain Systems Insight Manager by limiting the
total number of events. By default, this task is disabled. To enable the task:
On the All Scheduled Taskspage, click Enable.
In some installations there might be high volumes of events. If so, consider using this task and event collections
as models and creating an event collection for events older than 30 days (for example), and then creating
a task to delete events older than 30 days.
Hardware Status Polling for Non Servers
This task collects status information through management protocols (SNMP, WBEM, and so on) for systems
that are not Server, Cluster, or Management Processor type. By default, this task polls every 10 minutes and
at start-up.
NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something greater
than 10 minutes (for example, 15 minutes for every 1,000 systems).
Hardware Status Polling for Servers
This task collects status information for SNMP, or WBEM systems that are Server, Cluster, or Management
Processor types. By default, this task polls every 5 minutes and at start-up.
NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something greater
than 5 minutes (for example, 10 minutes for every 1,000 systems).
Hardware Status Polling for Systems No Longer Disabled
This task runs when a system goes from a disabled state to an enabled state. You could use this task to get
the latest status after a planned maintenance window on a system that was set to disabled.
Initial Data Collection
This task collects static information from a number of systems that have WBEM, or SNMP running (for example,
serial numbers and model numbers).
Initial Hardware Status Polling
This task runs hardware status polling on systems that are newly discovered. Therefore, you do not need to
wait for the periodic tasks to run before the system has a valid status.
Software Version Status Polling
This task determines software version update status and is set to run every seven days by default at midnight.
You can edit this task or manually run it at any time.
Software Version Status Polling for Systems no Longer Disabled
This task runs the software version tool when a system changes from a disabled state to an enabled state so
that the status of the software loaded on the system is kept current in Systems Insight Manager.
Daily Check Event Configuration
This task checks event configuration on all systems and is scheduled to run every day. The Daily Check Event
Configuration task can be edited.
