3-1 OVNM Management Interfaces
The OVNM Agents collect HP NonStop event messages and other information for processing and distribution
and pass them to the HP Operations environment. NonStop messages passing through a programmed console
application are monitored and collected by OVNM Agents according to predefined rules and filters. The agents
package these messages into a defined data structure and map them to the HP Operations environment. The
actions performed on the mapped events are then forwarded to the OVNM server components through TCP/IP.
The agents are also responsible for forwarding the configuration information to the OVNM server components.
The Object Configuration Client (OCC) is an interactive and user-friendly interface running on Microsoft Windows
platform, which is used to define the desired state of a NonStop object in operation. It allows you to create,
modify and delete threshold configurations and perform active monitoring and management of events. A request
is generated from OCC to build the objects that need to be monitored and sent to the HP NonStop Server
environment.
