Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manger is a comprehensive management tool to monitor and
control the operation of Compaq servers and clients. Compaq Insight Manager
consists of two components: a Windows-based console application, and server-
or-client-based management data collection agents. Starting with Compaq
Insight Manager 4.0, the agents for Windows NT and Netware are also web-
enabled; that is, these agents enable web browser access and monitoring of
management information.
The management agents monitor over 1,000 management paramenters. Key
subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance
data available to the agent software, The agents act upon that data, by initiating
information, such as netword interface or storage subsystem performance
statistics.
