The management agents monitor over 1,000 management parameters. Key subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance data available to agent software. Agents act upon data by initiating information, such as statistics on network interface or storage subsystem performance.

Integrated Management Log
On servers supporting the Integrated Management Display, the Compaq Integrated Management
Log (IML) replaces the Critical Error Log and Correctable Memory Logs. IML records system
events and stores them in an easily viewable form. Each event is marked with a time-stamp with
one-minute granularity.
Events listed in the IML are categorized as one of four event severity levels:
■
Status
—
Indicates that the message is informational only.
■
Repaired
—
Indicates that corrective action has been taken.
■
Caution
—
Indicates a nonfatal error condition.
■
Critical
—
Indicates a component failure.
The IML requires Compaq operating system-dependent drivers. Refer to the Compaq Support
Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.
Refer to the setup and installation guide that came with the server or the
Integrated Management
Display User Guide
provided with the Integrated Management Display option kit.
Multiple Ways of Viewing the Log
You can view an event in the IML in several ways:
■
On the Integrated Management Display
■
From within Compaq Insight Manager
■
From within the Compaq Survey Utility
■
From within the IML Management Utility
Integrated Management Display
The Integrated Management Display is an LCD panel that presents information directly at the
server, assisting in diagnosing and servicing the server without a keyboard and monitor.

operation of Compaq servers and clients. Compaq Insight Manager consists of two components:
a Windows-based console application and server- or client-based management data collection
agents. Starting with Compaq Insight Manager 4.0, the agents for Microsoft Windows NT and
