10 Managing remote support
HPE embedded remote support
iLO 4 includes the embedded remote support feature, which allows you to register supported
servers for HPE remote support. You can also use iLO to monitor service events and remote
support data collections.
Connecting a server to Hewlett Packard Enterprise allows it to be remotely supported and to
send diagnostic, configuration, telemetry, and contact information to Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
No other business information is collected, and the data is managed according to the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise privacy statement, which you can review at the following website: http://
www.hpe.com/info/privacy.
When you use the embedded remote support feature, choose from the following configuration
options: Insight Online direct connect and Insight Remote Support central connect.
Insight Online direct connect
Register a server directly with Insight Online without the need to set up an Insight Remote Support
centralized host server in your local environment. Insight Online will be your primary interface
for remote support information.
Insight Online is a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center feature that enables you to view
your remotely monitored devices anywhere, anytime. It provides a personalized dashboard for
simplified tracking of IT operations and support information, including a mobile dashboard for
monitoring when you are on the go.
Figure 3 (page 128) shows the direct connect configuration with a server.

Insight Remote Support central connect
Register a server with Hewlett Packard Enterprise through an Insight Remote Support centralized
host server in your local environment. All configuration and service event information is routed
through the host server. This information can be viewed by using the local Insight RS Console
or the web-based view in Insight Online (if it is enabled in Insight RS).
Figure 4 (page 129) shows the central connect configuration with a server.
