Enable Auto Page Refresh and Set the Interval
When SMH uses the SNMP Management Agents as the data source, each page must be refreshed
manually to retrieve the latest information. When using the WBEM Providers as the data source,
you can either manually refresh the information or set an Auto Refresh interval to get updates.
To enable WBEM Auto Refresh and to set the Refresh interval:
1. Click Settings → Auto Refresh → Configure Page Refresh Settings.
2. Select a refresh interval between 5 seconds and 30 minutes.
3. Use the radio button to enable Auto Refresh.
After WBEM Auto Refresh is enabled, the browser refreshes the pages at the specified interval.
Configuring the SNMP Management Agents
NOTE: The SNMP Providers require TCP/IP and SNMP on the system.
Activate and Deactivate Agents
Agents are activated when they are installed (except for Clustering Information agents). Inactive
agents remain installed but are dormant until you reactivate them. To activate or deactivate an
agent, complete the following steps:
1. Log in with Administrator rights. You must have Admin rights to access the management
agents from the Windows Control Panel.
