Integrated Management Log
The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The
IML time-stamps each event with one-minute granularity.
Events listed in the IML are categorized as one of four event severity levels:
• Status—indicates that the message is informational only
• Repaired—indicates that corrective action was taken
• Caution—indicates a non-fatal error condition occurred
• Critical—indicates a component failure has occurred
IML requires HP operating system-dependent drivers. Refer to the SmartStart for
Servers CD for instructions on installing the appropriate drivers.
Viewing the Log
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
• From within the Insight Manager 7
• From within the HP Survey Utility
• From within operating system-specific IML viewers
— For a Windows NT operating system, Event Viewer or HP IML Viewer
— For a NetWare operating system, HP IML Viewer
— For a Linux operating system, HP IML Viewer Application
Insight Manager 7
Insight Manager 7 is a server management tool that provides in-depth fault,
configuration, and performance monitoring of hundreds of HP servers from a single
management console. The system parameters that are monitored describe the status
of all key server components. By being able to view the events that may occur to
these components, you can take immediate action.
