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 system
’
s state by collecting and measuring system parameters. These
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 such as
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 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of
the Compaq hardware. In the unlikely event of 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
