Intelligent Event Module™ for HP® AlphaServer® RMC/SROM

INTELLIGENT EVENT MODULE BASICS

The HP AlphaServer RMC/SROM Intelligent Event Module™ (IEM) enables you to automate real-time monitoring of HP® AlphaServer® systems running RMC/SROM firmware and capture the critical information you need for effective enterprise management.

The HP AlphaServer RMC/SROM IEM provides ConsoleWorks® with a watch-list of text messages, including error codes, system warnings, and status alerts, produced by AlphaServer ES40 and ES45 systems running RMC/SROM firmware. ConsoleWorks watches for these messages, called Events, in the data streams of your managed systems.

Events

When ConsoleWorks detects an Event, it alerts you to the Event as it is happening, records the circumstances surrounding the Event, and automatically performs the default or customer-configured responses associated with that Event.

Scans

IEMs come with Events pre-arranged in logical groupings, called Scans™. Working with a Scan—or a combination of Scans—instead of hundreds of individual Events simplifies managing Events across your enterprise.

Associate the Scans

Associate the Scans with the systems you want ConsoleWorks to monitor. When you associate Scans with a system, you are specifying that ConsoleWorks scan the data streams of that system for the Events contained in the Scans.

ConsoleWorks provides you with three options for associating Scans:

•Associate individual Scans with one or more systems.

•Associate groups of Scans with one or more systems.

•Create a Scan containing only the Events you want monitored and associate this customized Scan with one or more systems.
