HP EMS HARDWARE S B6191-90028 Default Monitoring Requests, Severity Levels Notification Method

Installing and Using Monitors

Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring

Default Monitoring Requests

A set of default monitoring requests are created for each hardware event monitor. These default requests provide a complete level of monitoring and protection for the hardware resources under the control of the monitor. The default monitoring requests listed in Table 2-13 on page 36 are used for all hardware event monitors.

NOTE When to Modify the Default Monitoring Requests

You can use the default monitoring requests provided and achieve a complete level of protection. However, the default monitoring requests provide a limited number of notification options. By modifying or adding new monitoring requests, you gain greater control over what notification methods are used to alert you when events occur. You can add new notification methods or remove those that may not be required. Creating custom monitoring requests also allows you to manage which severity levels you want reported.
