Quick question on ISEE

[jmb]

Can this be configured to only do regular reporting? (As in Sun's Explorer.) Is there another HP product that does that? (One-way, weekly or so emails of system status to the vendor, or whomever selected.)

ISEE is a software that sends out errors generated by EMS (hardware monitoring) to a server on the HP side (backend). If nessecary, a support call is automatically generated. In addition to this, it monitors the status of the generated calls by connecting every 3 minutes via port 80 to the backend to get status information of the opened calls ("incidents"). It is also possible for support engineers to run short predefined scripts called "maps" if the system admin has allowed this via the configuration webinterface.

If you don't like the automatic call generation & monitoring, you can use EMS without ISEE. EMS is able to notifiy via SNMP, Textlog, e-mail etc. . You can add monitoring requests by calling /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig .

There is also another software call Event Notifier that is running on a seperate Workstation, but you have to make special contracts with HP ...
