Does anyone know where I can download the HP System Insight Agents for Linux?
I already downloaded and installed the System Management Homepage.

Thanks in advance.

Type in the model of server you are looking for agents for (like dl580 g5) in the text box and hit enter. Select the model if it brings up results.

Then select Download Drivers and Software on the next page. And select the OS version on the next page.

One System Insight Agent is not common for every server.
At least they differ with each processor architecture and flavor.
You have two choices:
1. Select any good server such as DL380 G4 or G5 and go to its driver download page, Select each flavor of Linux available there and Download HP System Health Application and Insight Management Agents for it
2. Download the PSP for required Linux Flavor from following link:

2nd option is easy and recommended :)

Hi,
You can also download the Agents only from here:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/im-agents/downloads.html

Link is little outdated so don't directly download instead go to revision history and download the latest

Hi,

I had the HP Management Agents installed on a linux machine by our linux guys.
I can reach the HP System Management homepage on this server via https://servername:2381, but I don't see any agents installed there.

These agents were installed:
hp-health
hp-smh-templates
hp-snmp-agents

and "hpsmh" for the system management homepage...

Do I need to configure anything after installing the agents?

Thanks
