Health monitoring

The partial screen capture below shows the events that can be selected in order to monitor the health of your client computers. You can select the threshold values for free disk space and battery charge level. When a selected event occurs, such as a battery fault, HPCM responds based on your predefined notification policies. For example, you can specify that an e-mail be sent to you to alert you to the situation.

Note: The number of health events that can be monitored varies by computer model.

You can also monitor the status of these events using one of the pre-configured reports. The health monitoring capability of HPCM simplifies the task of hardware change management by alerting you to memory changes, disk drive changes, or CPU changes. In addition to change management, security enhancements include chassis intrusion alerts, which may indicate the occurrence of a theft.
