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
with Linux" (page
