Using the SMH with the Insight Providers
Introduction to SMH
The layout of the SMH remains the same as the last version; however, there are changes on subpages.
The content and pertinent information are similar, but the layout has been redesigned to be more user-
friendly.

Providers are installed, SMH defaults to WBEM as the data source.
To change this setting:

Log in to the SMH, and then click
Settings > Select SMH Data Source > Select.

SNMP radio button.
3.
Click

.
4.
Log out of the SMH.
5.

Auto Refresh
The Auto Refresh option is a new feature. When the SMH uses the SNMP data source, each page must
be manually refreshed to retrieve the latest information. When using WBEM as the data source, the user
can manually refresh the information or set an Auto Refresh interval to get updates.

1.
Click
Settings>Auto Refresh>Configure Page Refresh Settings
.
2.
Select a refresh interval between 5 seconds and 30 minutes.

Click
Tasks (Tab) > Server Configuration > Threshold Information.
2.
Enter values for processors and disks. If there are many processors or disks, the user can set them all
at once using the global options.
