Server Availability

[Derek Parmenter]

I am configuring HP SIM 4.2 and would like any thoughts on how I would be able to do server availability reporting from my managed servers. Is this pushing the capabilities too far ?

Initially I would like to do reporting on hardware availablity. However I would also like to report on application availability.

I am aware that I can alert on processes stopping and starting, so feasibly I can use this to understand if the application is running.

Any suggestions helpfully received.

HP SIM has no concept of applications that are running. To track application availability requires something like HP OpenView Operations.
