HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

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.
T
task An executed instance of an HP Systems Insight Manager tool, on one or more systems, with a
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.
threshold A preset limit that produces an event when the limit is reached or exceeded.
