of SNMP Sets, which are used to change SNMP configuration information as well as alert thresholds for server management information. The Microsoft SNMP Agent Service provides a standard SNMP interface to external processes. However, its internal structure is very specific, using its own set of - Compaq BL10e | HP Insight Management Agents architecture for Windows servers - Page 8
Agent Service which passes them to the appropriate HP SNMP Extension Agent and then to an Insight Management Agent. In the HP Insight Management Agents architecture, all SNMP Sets are passed to and executed locally by the Foundation Agent as part of its extended functionality.

can use the Event Notifier Configuration Wizard to configure the outbound Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server for sending the e-mail alerts as well as the list of notification recipients for the Event Notifier service. The configuration wizard is part of the HP Management Agents - Compaq BL10e | HP Insight Management Agents architecture for Windows servers - Page 11
architecture can also monitor and alert on any active processes running on a managed server and send alerts as necessary. This functionality is part of the Foundation Agent.
