Overview
About HP Insight Environmental Configurator
HP Insight Environmental Configurator is a stand-alone software application that enables you to create or
edit the relative layout of sensor objects on a data center floor plan map. The layout is exported into the
HP Insight Environmental Application Server as the background image for the database. The image
visually displays the configuration information for all sensor objects within the data center.
Typically, the Configurator software is installed on the Application Server so that you can easily export the
layout on the same computer. However, you can install the Configurator on another computer within the
network, and then export the layout across the network to the Application Server. Although you can
modify the configuration either locally or remotely, you should always work with the latest configuration
(DL) file that is exported to the Application Server.
