Server- or client-based management data collection agents.
Working in conjunction with the hardware and firmware, the Compaq Insight Management
Agents monitor over 1,000 management parameters. Key subsystems are checked to make health,
configuration, and performance data available to the agent software.
The agents act upon the applicable data by initiating alarms in the event of faults, and by
providing updated management information, such as network interface or storage subsystem
performance statistics. Compaq Insight Manager provides control over systems through
monitoring and alerting capabilities for the critical systems in your distributed enterprise.
