HP Systems Insight Manager 7.1 User Guide

Failures encountered during automatic sign-in are logged as normal sign-in failures in both the
audit log and the event log. If automatic sign-in is not attempted, no failure is detected or logged
by HP SIM.
If automatic sign-in is configured, you can manually sign in to HP SIM.
• If automatic sign-in fails, the manual sign-in page appears
This might occur if you are logged in to the operating system using an account that is not an
HP SIM account.
• If automatic sign-in is not attempted
This might occur if the browser is not properly configured for automatic sign-in, or the feature
is disabled in HP SIM.
• If you click Sign Out from HP SIM
This enables you to specify another user account to use if you are signed in to the operating
system with a different account.
Guided tour of the HP SIM user interface
The GUI includes the following six regions:
1. Banner area
The banner provides a link to the Home page, a link to Sign Out of HP SIM, and displays the
user that is currently signed in. Click the minimize icon in the top right corner to minimize the
banner. To maximize the banner, click the maximize icon.
2. System Status panel
This panel provides uncleared event status, system health status information, and an alarm to
notify you about certain events or statuses. You can customize the System Status panel for
your environment. If you do not need to view this panel at all times, you can collapse it by
clicking the minus sign ( ) in the top right corner of the panel. To expand the panel, click the
plus sign ( ). If the System Status panel is collapsed and an alarm is received, the panel
expands to show the alarm. You can enlarge the panel by clicking the Open in new window
icon ( ) to display a separate large window that you can resize and view from across a room
without sitting at the HP SIM terminal.
3. Search panel
The search feature enables you to search for matches by system name and common system
attributes. You can also perform an advanced search for matches based on selected criteria.
