Introduction 10
Processes
The Insight Integration installation introduces several specific background and foreground process files,
which work with the native NNM processes to provide system discovery, receive and translate HP SNMP
events, and display the system hardware status on the NNM management maps.
Process name Process type
CPQDIS (on page 10) Background
CPQTRAPD (on page 10) Background
CPQMAP (on page 11) Foreground
CPQWEB (on page 11) Foreground
CPQRILOE (on page 11) Foreground
HPSIM (on page 11) (UNIX) Foreground
HPSIMLNH (on page 12) (UNIX) Foreground
CPQDIS
CPQDIS is a background process started by the OVSTART command that performs the following
functions:
• Uses data gathered by the HP NNM database to redefine all discovered systems running HP Insight
Management Agents
• Categorizes by system type all discovered HP nodes (for example, server or client systems) and
identifies the associated operating system on each discovered HP node
• Updates the overall status of the HP node
• Runs before any of the other processes installed by the Insight Integration can start
• References the Discovery section of the CPQCONFIG.DAT file. For more information on the
CPQCONFIG.DAT file, see "Configuration files (on page 22)."
CPQTRAPD
CPQTRAPD is the trap daemon that the Insight Integration uses to process all traps received from the 232
enterprise.
The HP Network Node Manager process uses TRAPD to receive SNMP traps. The CPQTRAPD process
works with TRAPD to identify traps that are specific to HP and formulates the traps into a readable format.
Complex values received from the HP Insight Management Agents are converted to explanatory text
strings before they are displayed as messages in the NNM Event Browser.
When the Insight Integration is installed, the TRAPD configuration file (TRAPD.CONF) is modified to
accept and process all events from the 232 enterprise as "Log Only," which means that the events are
copied to the NNM Event Log (TRAPD.LOG), but are not displayed in the NNM Event Browser. The
CPQTRAPD process translates the raw SNMP events and adds new information and recommended
actions where appropriate. The translated trap is re-entered through TRAPD with a "Log and Display"
definition, and then copied to the NNM Event Log and displayed in the NNM Event Browser.
