Introduction
In a new ITO setup a default set of message source templates is installed on the
Management Server for every managed node platform supported by ITO. These default
templates are downloaded from the Management Server at the time of Agent installation
onto the managed nodes. The purpose of these default templates is two fold:
• To expose the power of templates and serve as examples for further template creation
and fine tuning.
• To serve as a ramp during the initial post installation period for maximum Return on
Investments(ROI).
The default template implementations for the different managed node platforms do not all
have the same level of functionality. Some platforms have advanced sets of default
templates while some have very little capability. The HP 3000 platform (whose OS is
known as MPE/iX) had a very basic default template set. With a view to better help
management of environments consisting of HP 3000 systems, a new enhanced default
template set has been created.
The default message source templates for the MPE/iX platform can be categorized into the
following areas:
• OS Monitoring
• Network Monitoring
• Database Monitoring
• Console Monitoring
OS Monitoring
The OS monitoring templates can be classified as:
• Disk Drive Monitor
• Volume Set Monitor
• Job and Process Monitor

• Pending Console Reply Monitor
