Group ConfigurationGroup Configuration of the Web Agent is one of the tasks in HP Systems Insight Manager
that operates using Secure Task Execution (STE). During task
setup you can view and edit the source device's configuration. This configuration
can then be copied to a target set or a group of devices. This can be
useful for copying existing configurations from a source device to multiple
destinations. The destinations are determined by the selected query. The
HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide is located on the Management CD. The group configuration support based thresholds has three items that
can be set using the HP Systems Insight Manager group configuration screen. Related topics. Select a source device and click [Next]
from the HP Systems Insight Manager screen. Select the [Edit]
link from the group configuration tree display for the HP Subsystem Status
information. Select
Threshold Settings >
Threshold Properties.
If the cursor is placed over any of the threshold settings a tool tip
will be shown stating “Threshold warning and critical value settings,
a value of 0 means it is not set”. You
can select one or more of the settings before saving the configuration
information. You do not have to select all settings. The warning and critical levels are
grouped together for each setting. Warning and critical threshold limits can be set for the properties
where indicated in the list below. Alarms
are sent when the performance property value meets the threshold conditions
and stays for 15 data collection intervals. The data collection interval
is set in the HP Management Agents Control Panel applet under the Windows Control Panel Settings. Alarms are sent to the configured destinations
through SNMP and e-mail.
CPU Threshold % CPU Time Percentage of time that all processors are executing a non-idle thread.
Designed as a primary indicator of processor activity, this counter is
calculated by measuring the time that each processor spends executing
the thread of the idle process in each sample interval, and subtracting
that value from 100%. (Each processor has an idle thread, that consumes
cycles when no other threads are ready to run.) It can be viewed as the
percentage of the sample interval spent doing useful work. This counter
displays the average percentage of busy time observed during the sample
interval. It is calculated by monitoring the time, the service was inactive,
and then subtracting that value from 100%.
Page File ThresholdsPaging File Usage Percent (Thresholds Supported): The amount of the
Page File instance in use in percent. Lower is better.
Cache Hits ThresholdsCopy Read Hits Percent (Thresholds Supported): Cache Copy Read Hits
Percent is the percentage of cache copy read requests that hit the cache,
that is, they did not require a disk read in order to provide access to
the page in the cache. A copy read is a file read operation that is satisfied by a memory copy
from a page in the cache to the application's buffer.
SNMP ConfigurationWith the use of group configuration administrators are now able to quickly
change the SNMP configuration settings on multiple devices through a single
operation by utilizing HP Systems Insight Manager. To
learn more about creating an SNMP Group Configuration Control Task, see
the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide. The example below details
how to set the service on a single device. SNMP Agent ConfigurationThe SNMP Agent Configuration page is used to view and set the SNMP (Win32
Service) Agent configuration. The SNMP Agent page allows setting the Contact,
Location and Service type for the SNMP service. If you change the SNMP Agent configuration, you need to click the
[Apply] button to send the configuration
request to the server. If your server is running Windows NT 4.0, the SNMP
service settings will not take effect until you click the [Restart
Agents] button.
Contact
displays the contact person responsible for the SNMP management of the
server
Location
displays the location of the server
Service
displays the service type for the server
Wait until you have completed changing all of the settings before clicking
the [Restart Agents] button, you
will not be able to refresh the page or make other changes while the restart
is occurring. Once you click the [Restart
Agents] button, and then refresh
the page to view the updated information.
Security ConfigurationThe SNMP Security Configuration page is used to view and set the SNMP
(Win32 Service) Security configuration. The SNMP Agent page allows setting the SNMP
Community String
Accepted Host
List, and Send Authentication
Trap settings for the SNMP service. The security rights for an accepted community name are NONE,
NOTIFY, READ_ONLY, READ_WRITE
and READ_CREATE. The accepted host list is the host names or IP addresses of the machines
that your server is allowed to accept SNMP requests from. You can disable or enable the Send Authentication Trap flag. You may [add], [edit]
or [remove] security configurations.
After the changes have been made on the browser, you need to click the
[Apply] button. If your server is running Windows NT 4.0, the SNMP security settings
will not take effect until you click the [Restart
Agents] button. Wait until you have completed changing all of the
settings (Agent, Security, Traps) before clicking the [Restart
Agents button], you will not be able to refresh the page or make
other changes while the restart is occurring. Once you click the
[Restart Agents button], and then
refresh the page to view the updated information.
Trap ConfigurationThis page is used to set the SNMP (Win32 Service) Trap community names
and destinations. The Trap Destination hosts are a semi-colon delimited list of servers
where the traps for a specific community name are sent. To enable your
ProLiant server to send alerts to HP Systems Insight Manager and other management
applications, you must configure the appropriate trap destination(s).
Trap destinations may be input as an IP address, and IPX address, or a host name. After all the changes have been made on the browser, you need to click
the [Apply] button. If your server is running Windows NT 4.0, the SNMP Trap settings will
not take effect until you click on the [Restart Agents] button. Wait
until you have completed changing all of the settings (Agent, Security,
Traps) before clicking the [Restart Agents] button, since you will not be
able to refresh the page or make other changes while the restart is occurring.
HP Insight Management Agent ConfigurationThe HP Insight Management Agent page is used to view and set the HP Insight Management Agent configuration. If you make
HP Systems Insight Manager changes, you must click the [Restart
Agents] button for changes to the HP Systems Insight Manager (Server Agent,
Foundation Agents, Storage Agent, and NIC Agents) settings to take effect on the server.
Server Role displays the description
of the system’s role or function. You can also set the Server Role text
on multiple devices by creating a Group Configuration Task in HP Systems Insight Manager. To
learn more about how to set the server role see the HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide. Wait until you have completed changing all of the settings before clicking the [Restart Agents]
button, you will not be able to refresh the page or make other changes while the restart is
occurring. Once you click the [Restart Agents] button,
and then refresh the page to view the updated information.
