Integrating HP Insight Environmental Observer with HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Operations Manager

Example Tool Definition File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<tool-list>

<web-launch-tool name="Houston HPIEO" max-targets="1"revision="4.0">

<category>Local Tools</category>

<description>HP Insight Environmental Observer for Houston</description>

<execute-as-user>root</execute-as-user>

<toolbox-enabled value="true" />

<web-block accepts-targets="false">

<main-url>http://10.100.100.100:8080/HPIEO</main-url>

</web-block>

TOOL,HPIEO</attribute>

<attribute name="target-frame">RPMFrame</attribute>

</web-launch-tool>

</tool-list>

In this example:

Houston HPIEO is the name of a configuration that appears on the Tools menu in HP SIM. Make

the name descriptive enough so that you will remember its purpose. You can add several instances

of the software to this menu, so we recommend using a unique name for each instance.

HP Insight Environmental Observer for Houston is the description name of the application. This

name appears only in the list of tool definition files and helps you determine which tool definition

is for which application.

http://10.100.100.100:8080/HPIEO is the URL of the HPIEO software. The IP address

(10.100.100.100) is the IP address of the server running the HPIEO software.

3. Copy the tool definition file you created in Step 1 to the HPSIM program folder.

The default folder is HP\Systems Insight Manager.

NOTE:

If you are running a Japanese operating system, copy the provided

properties file HPIEO_ja.properties to the HPSIM program folder. This

default folder is HP/Systems Insight Manager.

4. From the HPSIM program folder, run setnimbusenv.

5. From the HPSIM program folder, run mxtool -a -f <filename.xml>, where <filename.xml> is the

name you chose in Step 1, for example mxtool -a -f HPIEO.xml.

6. Log out of the current browser session.

7. Stop and start HP Systems Insight Manager services.

8. Log back in before using the new link.

You will see the Houston HPIEO launch link under the Tools -> Integrated Consoles menu after you

compile the XML file and restart HP SIM services.

HPIEO software can send SNMP traps to any SNMP trap receiver.
