Although the Insight Event Notifier is part of the Insight Management architecture on managed

the Computer Management administrative tool.
Once you enable the service, you can use the Event Notifier Configuration Wizard to configure the
outbound Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server for sending e-mail alerts as well as the list of
notification recipients for the Event Notifier service. The configuration wizard is part of the HP
Management Agents program group on the managed server (Figure 3).

managed server and send alerts when they start, stop, or restart. This functionality is part of the
Foundation Agent. You can configure it with the HP Management Agents configuration utility. It is
accessible from the Control Panel of any managed server with the Insight Management Agents
architecture installed (Figure 4).
