Question for HP SIM 4.1 - Disk Threshold

[punsac]

Does anyone know how to set disk threshold for only the C: drive. Currently I get paged for all the drives including data ones like D: etc.

Also, is it possible to monitor the SNMP service start/stop via SIM.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You can set this using the Insight Management agents.Do the following.

1.Browse to the system management homepage of the system where you want to set the threshold. https://:2381

2.Click on Insight Management Agents.

3.Under the "Mass Storage" section click on "File System Space Used"

4.Set the desired Thresholds and click on "Save Thresholds".

5.Now, under the "Configuration" section click on "SNMP Configuration"

6.In the page that comes up click on "Trap" and set the trap destination as your HPSIM machine.

7.Restart the Agents.

You are done. From now on you will be notified through HPSIM.

Thanks a bunch for your help. The disk thresholds work perfectly fine.

For the SNMP config, Should I put the managed machine's IP under trap destination or the Insight manager central server's IP?
I already have CMS's IP in there but I don't get alerted for SNMP service stip/start.

Thanks again!

The HPSIM Server is the Trap Destination.

I don't believe the SNMP Service Sends a trap when it starts or stops.

You can't really monitor the SNMP Process as the monitoring is done at the Client end and if it's the SNMP Process that dies then it can't send the trap.
