HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

When switching between the System(s) tab and the Events tab, the Events tab "remembers" the

selected events and event filter (if viewing a system collection). The System(s) tab remembers the

selected systems, view type (table, tree, or icon), and the selected system filter (if viewing an event

collection). However, the selections on each page are independent of each other.

Quick Launch

The Quick Launch hyperlink links to a short list of frequently used tools. Place your cursor over the

link to expand the menu and view the tools available for selected systems. Selecting a tool from

this list bypasses the target verification page of the Task Wizard. You cannot schedule tools

launched from this menu. Customize this menu by clicking the Customize link in the Quick Launch

menu.

Event status summary

This summary shows how many events in the view have a status of Critical, Major, Minor, Normal,

and Informational. For more information about event status types, see the HP Systems Insight

Manager User Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.

Event collection columns

To sort collection results by a particular column, click the column header for ascending or descending

order. Place your cursor over a column name for a brief description of the column. The following

columns appear on the event table view page:

• Select the checkbox in this column to select an event. You can select more than one event.

Select the checkbox in the column heading or select Select "collection name" itself to

select or clear all displayed events.

• This column displays whether the event is in the Cleared or Not Cleared state. Events start in

the Not Cleared state. A Cleared state means the user is no longer interested in this event.

Event states also include In Progress, which indicates that not all the data for the event has

been logged. You cannot remove or clear In Progress events. Pending state events are changed

to Not Cleared when the CMS is restarted.

• This column displays the event status icon to indicate the severity of a problem represented

by the event. For more information on event severity types, see the HP Systems Insight Manager

User Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.

• This column displays the type of an event. Some examples of event types include: SNMP traps,

Event Details section. The information displayed varies depending on the event. If you cannot

see the entire event type in the column, place your cursor over this field, and a window appears

showing the entire event type. For more information abut event details, see the HP Systems

Insight Manager User Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.

• This column displays the system name on which the event occurred. Clicking a link in this

column displays the System Page for the selected system.

When an event occurs that affects an entire rack or enclosure, it is possible for several systems

in that rack or enclosure to generate a trap for that event. These container traps are filtered

such that only one event is logged per rack or enclosure trap. Also, even though the source

of the trap is a server blade or management processor, HP SIM sets the Event Source and

Associated System for the logged event to the rack or enclosure, as appropriate. For more

information on racks and enclosures, see the HP Systems Insight Manager User Guide, at

http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.

• This column displays the time stamp when the CMS received the event, which includes the

date and time. If the client is in a different time zone than the event time (CMS time), the event

time is converted to the client time zone.
