Insight Management Agents Insight Agents operate on Compaq systems such as servers and workstations, performing in-depth monitoring of the status by collecting and measuring system parameters. The parameters indicate the current state of subsystems by counting the occurrence of particular events (for example, the number of read operations performed on a disk drive) or monitoring the state of a critical function, such as whether the cooling fan is operating. Insight Desktop Agents operate on Compaq Deskpro computers, monitoring functions that include temperature sensing and disk prefailure alerting. Insight Agents provide information to management applications, such as Compaq Insight Manager, and can generate alarm notifications if significant changes occur in the fault or performance aspects of system operation. Information is delivered to and from the Insight Agents by the industry-standard SNMP. Compaq Insight Manager Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of the Compaq hardware. For hardware failures, Compaq Insight Manager also provides a full complement of remote maintenance and control facilities. For additional information, refer to the online Compaq Insight Manager User Guide on the server documentation CD that accompanied the server.

Compaq Insight Management Software Architecture
The Compaq Insight Management software architecture is typical of other network management
solutions. It has a client/server architecture and is composed of agent software (Compaq Insight
Management Agents) and the management application software (Compaq Insight Manager).
Insight Management Agents
Insight Agents operate on Compaq systems such as servers and workstations, performing
in-depth monitoring of the status by collecting and measuring system parameters. The
parameters indicate the current state of subsystems by counting the occurrence of particular
events (for example, the number of read operations performed on a disk drive) or monitoring the
state of a critical function, such as whether the cooling fan is operating.
Insight Desktop Agents operate on Compaq Deskpro computers, monitoring functions that
include temperature sensing and disk prefailure alerting.
Insight Agents provide information to management applications, such as Compaq Insight
Manager, and can generate alarm notifications if significant changes occur in the fault or
performance aspects of system operation. Information is delivered to and from the Insight
Agents by the industry-standard SNMP.
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of
the Compaq hardware. For hardware failures, Compaq Insight Manager also provides a full
complement of remote maintenance and control facilities.
For additional information, refer to the online
Compaq Insight Manager User Guide
on the
server documentation CD that accompanied the server.
