Signing out
Be sure to sign out from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) to prevent unauthorized access to your active

minutes.
As long as you are actively working in HP SIM, your session stays active. If the session is inactive for more
than 20 minutes, HP SIM ends the session and signs you out after 20 minutes of inactivity. See “Configuring
browser timeout options” for more information about keeping sessions active.
