In this guide, the terms IT Assistant system or network management station are
used to identify the system on which the IT Assistant software is installed.
If you are configuring the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
agent on a managed system, trap destinations for the SNMP service must
point to the host name or IP address of the system where IT Assistant is
installed.
Utilities
IT Assistant has three utilities:
• Import Node List Utility: Allows you to create a file that defines a discovery
list comprised of managed devices, IP addresses, or IP address ranges.
• Database Management Utility:
Allows you to perform operations on
databases and tables that reside in the IT Assistant data repository.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Event Source Import
Utility: Allows you to import multiple event sources, not natively
supported in IT Assistant, into the IT Assistant database.
