Control
HP Insight Control gives you more for every dollar, hour, and watt invested in your ProLiant
servers. With Insight Control and related services, you can deploy new ProLiant servers quickly and
reliably, catalog your environment accurately, proactively monitor server health to pinpoint
failures before they result in unplanned downtime, manage ProLiant servers remotely from any
location, and optimize power usage confidently. As a result, you can reduce unplanned downtime
and deliver stable IT services to your LOB users. In this case, you need to disable or allow the
protocols within the Intranet and Internet or VPN.
The Insight Agents for Microsoft Windows also create Windows Event Log entries. A management
tool such as HP Network Management Center or Microsoft Operations Manager operating in the
same environment can then collect the log entries and send them back to a centralized server.
The Insight Agents for Linux also create entries in the syslog. You can write a script to look for
these entries and take appropriate actions.
