HP SIM

[KeithFountain]

I have an installation of HP SIM on a server that is monitoring three servers including itself. All systems show up green except for the local server which, although set to trust all, seems not to. I have tried setting it to trust by certificate but it connects as localhost and so still does not trust it. Any idea on how I can change it from "localhost" to "servername"

set that in your hosts file.

after that you might want to check below option in SIM also:
options->security->System link configuration.

Even though it is the local host have you imported the certificate? From the SMH, import the certificate.
You may want to try deleting and re-importing the certificate if that fails.
Also the server does need to correctly ID itself. The usual rules apply, wbem or snmp needs to be configured as for a remote server.
