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 that include temperature sensing and disk
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
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control of your 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 on the Systems Reference Library CD that accompanied your server.
