Re: What uses the SNMP write community string in SIM?
If you don't have a write community string, when you go to the agent from HPSIm and go to thresholds you cannot save any changes to the threshold sliders.

Re: What uses the SNMP write community string in SIM?
Most default server installations only use an SNMP-community "public" with READ ONLY rights.
The Integrated Management Log can be accessed via the System Management Homepage.
Sometimes HPSIM reports a hardware status Orange when specific events are logged in the IML (like BlueScreens etc.).

Re: What uses the SNMP write community string in SIM?
All 'write' operations that HP SIM does over the wire are complete via HTTPS.
Intra-agent communications include:
- setting disk thresholds
- clearing the IML
- changing agent settings through the SMH or from HP SIM
- VCA updates

Re: What uses the SNMP write community string in SIM?
Thanks for that info, but what about situations (like ours) where those who make the rules for the network expressly forbid setting SNMP write strings?

Re: What uses the SNMP write community string in SIM?
Sorry for the sarcasm, but most of these 'decrees' are made by people without a clear understanding of the problem who read an article about something and start making uninformed decisions.
A perfectly secure server would have no administrative or management access whatsoever, in fact no access at all. (The system where we do digital signing of software is not even connected to a network because of security restrictions.) Everyone needs to make a decision about the tradeoff between security and the amount of management they want to/need to use.
