Logging or Monitor Service
The Server Hardware Manager Monitor is a service that runs automatically after installation. The service periodically verifies the status of
storage hardware components and logs events. By default, the Monitor logs to only a local log file.
NOTE:
If any modifications are made to the Monitor or SNMP services, the services must be restarted for the changes to take
place.
