This chapter describes the Insight Control for vCenter hardware alert events and alarms.
Insight Control for vCenter events
Insight Control for vCenter loads events from Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, and HP CIM providers into vCenter Server, enabling administrators to view and manage them from the vSphere Client Tasks & Events tab. This provides administrators with a single, heterogeneous view of all host system events within the managed environment.
To view HP hardware tasks and events, navigate to the Tasks & Events tab in the vSphere Client.
Onboard Administrator events
Insight Control for vCenter registers with the Onboard Administrator to receive supported events as they occur. These events fit into defined vCenter Server categories.
