HP Insight Management Agents
Based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), HP Insight Management Agents (HPIMA) allow you to remotely monitor configuration information and system status on your HP Integrity server from any SNMP browser. A central management server that uses HP Insight Manager ( or HP Systems Insight Manager) gathers and organizes the raw agent information from the browser for display in reports, allowing you to monitor system use and troubleshoot problems.
HP Insight Management Agents provide a broad spectrum of SNMP agents for the collection of server management data. This product includes SNMP extensions, data collection agents, and MIBs ported from the legacy "Compaq Insight Manager" product, such as Health, Host, Network Interface Card (NIC), Standard Equipment, Standard Information, Storage (including IDA, IDE, SCSI, and FC), and Threshold. The agents are handled by the HP Systems Insight Manager though they should work with any other management console applications that use SNMPv1.
You can obtain the latest version of HP Insight Management Agents by installing the downloaded HP Support Pack as described in “Obtaining the Latest HP Insight Foundation Suite for Integrity with Linux” (page 17).
