Compaq Insight Manager 7 generates subsystem and component views through direct
access to networked devices by means of a standard Web browser, offering
customers a quick and convenient way to diagnose system status.
Compaq Insight Manager 7 and Cluster Monitor helps you focus on your computing
environment from the perspective of Microsoft Cluster software clusters and their
attributes.
Cluster Monitor
Cluster Monitor is a Web-based monitoring subsystem for Compaq Insight
Manager 7. With Cluster Monitor, you can view all clusters from a single browser
and configure monitor points and specific operational performance thresholds that
will alert you when these thresholds have been met or exceeded on your application
systems. Cluster Monitor relies heavily on the Compaq Insight Manager 7 Web-
enabled agents for basic information about system health. It also has custom agents
that are designed specifically for cluster health. Cluster Monitor provides access to
the Compaq Insight Manager 7 alarm, device, and configuration information.
Cluster Monitor has three distinct informational areas that can be used to meet
individual operational needs:
• A problem window with a prioritized cluster event list sorted by severity for the
clusters that are under the administrator’s control
• A topology tree displaying all clusters and their respective monitor points,
including Microsoft Cluster software health, processor, bus, disk, or network
usage and performance thresholds
• A detailed problem definition based on monitored conditions and a proposed
resolution to the problem, if one can be determined, with drill-down ability to the
specific device or system causing a negative or unstable cluster state and the
ability to perform corrective actions
Cluster Monitor management information includes:
• Ownership
• Identified cluster resources
• System hardware and software configuration
