Status polling The HP SIM Status Polling module keeps HP SIM status up to date and provides a timely and accurate "follow-the-red" picture for users. "Follow-the-red" refers to following a top-level status value down through various levels to the problem hardware. HP SIM Status Polling collects an overall status value from the Insight Providers every five minutes. This polling task contacts all discovered managed nodes that have WBEM as a discovered protocol and collects the overall status. Figure 6 illustrates how to use "follow-the-red" by first clicking Health Status and tracing through the System Management Homepage which lists problem hardware in the Storage list. Figure 6.
