HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Technical Reference Guide

Tool search

The Tool Search feature provides a quick way to search and filter textually, based on tool names,

tool locations in the HP SIM cascading menu structure, and tool descriptions.

• The tool search feature searches, matches, and highlights as you enter information.

• The tree structure of the menu is represented exactly. If no filter text is supplied, the menu is

rendered in a tree format for browsing.

• Searches are not case sensitive.

• Tools are hyperlinked and can be launched from the tree.

• Tool names, menu paths, and descriptions are searched. If you are not authorized for a tool,

it is not included in the search.

• As an example, when you search on SNMP using the following procedure, matching tools

include SNMP in their names but in their descriptions. By reading the short description, you

learn how SNMP applies to the tool, and you get a quick overview of the tool.
