Event Monitoring Service overview
HP Event Monitoring Service (EMS) is a system monitoring application designed to facilitate real-time
monitoring and error detection for HP products in the enterprise environment. This framework provides
centralized management of hardware systems and system resources and provides immediate notification of
hardware failures and system status.
HP EMS reports information that helps you detect the loss of redundant resources, exposing single points of
failure and eliminating the threat to data and application availability. HP EMS capabilities cover the entire
system: system components, storage, and network interfaces.
To access the Event Monitoring Services in HP SIM, select Diagnose→Event Monitoring Service.
