Federated CMS Search tool
Select Reports→Federated Search....
Federated CMS Search is a web-based HP SIM plug-in that allows you to search quickly across a
number of Systems Insight Manager CMS systems. Federated Search finds systems using basic
system criteria such as name, system type, subtype, and OS. The search tool can also search
software inventory information to find, for example, firmware versions across all Windows systems.
From the search results, you can drill down into specific systems on specific CMSs, accessing all
features on those CMSs and you can have the results exported to CSV, a comma-separated value,
format.
How it works
• System administrators log into the host CMS running the Federated CMS Search tool and
launch the tool from the HP SIM Reports menu.
• A list of searchable CMSs appears with their respective connection status, version information,
and system counts.
NOTE: Federated Search must be configured before a search can be performed.
• Submit search criteria (name, status, system type/subtype, product, OS) and the Federated
CMS Search UI searches other CMSs through their respective HP SIM web service APIs.
• Other CMSs in the organization returns the individual search results in a single table.
