Hewlett-Packard and NetIQ Corporation have collaborated to provide a robust and highly integrated hardware, systems, and application management solution for the Windows® NT environment. The NetIQ AppManager® Suite provides a comprehensive solution for managing the performance and availability of distributed Windows NT systems and applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, and Microsoft SQL Server running on HP NetServer systems. AppManager for HP TopTools, one component of the AppManager Suite, gives you one central, easy-to-use console that can automatically pinpoint, correlate, and correct performance and availability problems not only for HP NetServers but also across Windows NT systems and applications. HP and NetIQ Work Together to Provide Enhanced Performance Management HP TopTools for Servers provides in-depth monitoring of HP NetServer system statistics that are not available through operating system tools provided with Windows NT. With AppManager for HP TopTools, you can now use the AppManager console to perform robust event and performance monitoring for distributed Windows NT-based systems and underlying HP NetServer systems. You can also use the AppManager console to set up "actions" such as send email or pager alerts, generate an SNMP trap to a network manager, or run a corrective "fix" program to execute automatically when a specific event occurs. The result is a powerful and automated closed-loop solution for both pro-active problem detection and resolution across a customer's distributed HP NetServer system and Windows NT environment. The standard functions provided by the AppManager for HP TopTools include monitoring: • The health of the system and Network Interface Cards • The temperature of the computer • The status of SCSI systems, determining if HP TopTools has written critical messages to the Windows NT event log files • The status of the HP TopTools service • HP disks for impending disk failures, and • Reporting on HP NetServer asset information such as CPU speed continued on next page...
