Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter, or Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor. With the Advanced System Management service, you can configure system management events (such as POST, loader, and operating system time-outs or critical temperature, voltage, and tamper alerts). If any of these events occurs, the Advanced System Management service can be configured to use a modem or your Netfinity Manager system to automatically forward a Netfinity alert to other Netfinity Manager systems or to a numeric or alphanumeric pager. Alert Manager The Alert Manager is an extendable facility that allows receiving and processing of application-generated alerts. A variety of actions can be taken in response to alerts, including logging alerts, notifying the user, forwarding the alert to another system, executing a program, playing a WAV file (available only on multimedia systems), generating an SNMP alert message, dialing out to a digital pager service (available only on systems that have a modem), or taking an application-defined action. Actions are user-definable, using a flexible action management interface. Also, an extensive, detailed log is kept of all alerts received by the Alert Manager. Logged information includes date and time the alert was received, type and severity of the alert, the ID of the application that generated the alert, as well as any text that was generated and any action taken by the Alert Manager. Individual or multiple alerts can be selected from the log and printed for later reference, or deleted once problems are corrected. This service is available for stand-alone use and network use. Alert on LAN configuration Use the Alert on LAN configuration service to configure monitoring options of Alert on LAN-capable systems locally and remotely. Systems with Alert on LAN capability provide critical status information about system states. The data is reported by hardware or software (depending on whether the systems in currently powered on or not) using TCP/IP. Capacity Management Capacity Management is an easy-to-use resource management and planning tool for network managers and administrators, allowing you to remotely monitor the performance of servers on the network. Cluster Manager Cluster Manager is an application designed to enhance the cluster management capabilities of the Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) administration console, included with Microsoft Windows NT Version 4.0 Enterprise Edition. Cluster Manager builds on the power of MSCS, providing an integrated graphical interface that enables you to quickly and easily monitor and manage the clustered systems on your network. This service is available only on systems running Windows NT Workstation 4.0. Critical File Monitor Critical File Monitor can warn you whenever critical system files on the system are deleted or altered. Critical File Monitor makes it simple to generate Netfinity alerts when an important System File (such as the CONFIG.SYS file) changes date, time, size, or when it is deleted or created. Critical File Monitor can also be used to monitor any other files that reside on a Netfinity Manager system. DMI Browser DMI Browser enables you to examine information about the DMI-compliant hardware and software products installed in or attached to the system. Netfinity Manager 109
