HP Toptools for Servers v5.0 Administrator Guide

Chapter 1 Server Administration Using HP TopTools

Monitored Components List
HP TopTools Auto Alert and TopTools Integrated Device Manager use SNMP
agents to notify an administrator of status changes in their network server
components. HP Instant TopTools does not need to use agents, but you will
receive more events with them. Table 1-1 shows a list of monitoring capabilities
(this list may vary depending on your NetServer model and installed accessories).
