• The HP server discovery rules and scripts use Insight Management Agents, system BIOS data, and information from WMI to identify HP ProLiant servers and collate individual system configuration attributes. • HP state monitoring rules use data from Insight Management Agents MIB files to monitor the condition of HP ProLiant server hardware and to populate the State views in the System Center Essentials Console. HP state monitoring rules also monitor the availability of key HP management software and services such as Insight Management Agents. • The HP event processing rules rely on Insight Management Agents and data written to the Windows® Event Log to identify and process HP hardware events. When an HP Insight Management Agent generates an event, a corresponding entry is written to the Windows® Event log, which is the primary event data source used by System Center Essentials. If the HP event in the Windows® Event Log has an associated event processing rule defined by an HP Management Pack, a System Center Essentials alert is generated and written to the appropriate view in the System Center Essentials Console. HP alerts in System Center Essentials include clear event details and knowledge base data designed to enable rapid analysis of real-time and prefailure conditions. Certain hardware events reported to the Windows® Event Log can also generate additional events that indicate a change in hardware state.

Overview 8
•
The HP server discovery rules and scripts use Insight Management Agents, system BIOS data, and
information from WMI to identify HP ProLiant servers and collate individual system configuration
attributes.
•
HP state monitoring rules use data from Insight Management Agents MIB files to monitor the
condition of HP ProLiant server hardware and to populate the State views in the System Center
Essentials Console. HP state monitoring rules also monitor the availability of key HP management
software and services such as Insight Management Agents.
•
The HP event processing rules rely on Insight Management Agents and data written to the
Windows® Event Log to identify and process HP hardware events.
When an HP Insight Management Agent generates an event, a corresponding entry is written to the
Windows® Event log, which is the primary event data source used by System Center Essentials. If
the HP event in the Windows® Event Log has an associated event processing rule defined by an HP
Management Pack, a System Center Essentials alert is generated and written to the appropriate view
in the System Center Essentials Console.
HP alerts in System Center Essentials include clear event details and knowledge base data designed
to enable rapid analysis of real-time and prefailure conditions. Certain hardware events reported to
the Windows® Event Log can also generate additional events that indicate a change in hardware
state.
