Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is the Compaq application for easily managing network devices.
Compaq Insight Manager delivers intelligent monitoring and alerting as well as visual control
of the servers.
In Compaq servers, every hardware subsystem, such as disk storage, system memory, and
system processor, has a robust set of management capabilities. Compaq Full-Spectrum Fault
Management prevents faults before they happen, keeps the system up and running in the
unlikely event of a failure, and delivers rapid server recovery to normal operation after a
fault.
Features of Compaq Insight Management
Compaq Insight Management features include:
• Web browser access—to Insight Manager Device and Configuration information from
anywhere you have network access and a standard Web browser for Windows NT and
NetWare servers.
• Comprehensive fault management—for all major subsystems, including prefailure
alerts in advance of potential system failures.
NOTE: Compaq Insight Manager will not support pre-failure alerts from the stared storage area in a
ProLiant DL360 server.
• Broad configuration management—provides effective deployment and maintenance of
consistent, manageable configurations with Insight Version Control and Integration
Server Maintenance. Version Control and Integration Server Maintenance allows the
administrator to monitor and update versions of the server and workstation firmware,
drivers and utilities.
• Performance management—sets performance and capacity thresholds for management
variables related to CPU and bus utilization, NIC throughput, logical disk capacity, and
more.
• Workstation management—monitors and manages Compaq Professional Workstations.
• Client management—manages faults and assets on Compaq Deskpro computers.
• Netelligent management—receives alarms from Netelligent devices. Full management
of Netelligent devices is supported through integration with Compaq Netelligent
Management Software.
• Asset management—exports asset information from the Compaq Insight Manager
database to leading database and spreadsheet applications.
• Remote management—manages in-band or out-of-band devices, online or offline, from
any location.

integration with leading management platforms including HP OpenView, IBM NetView,
SunNet Manager, and Microsoft Systems Management Server.
