Some items cannot be monitored in ESMPRO Manager:

ESMPRO Manager Ver4.23 or later is necessary to monitor NovaScale/ft Server series. If you are
using older version, install ESMPRO Manager CD-ROM that comes with the device.
Various logs cannot be referred in ESRAS Utility:

ESRAS Utility is software that refers various logs, print out, output to a file, and initialization in
NovaScale/ft Server series in which ESMPRO Agent is installed. When ESRAS Utility of ESMPRO
Manager is used, there are some devices that cannot refer various logs.

Use ESRAS Utility of ESMPRO Agent. It is registered in CD-ROM that comes with the device.
Install it from related utility of ESMPRO setup.
Managing dual mode system:

When managing dual mode system, install Operation/Standby separately to local disk. Installation of
ESMPRO Agent is same as normal installation except installing to two servers.
The monitoring event is not alerted:

The alert function is based on the event information registered in the event log of the system. Thus, set
the event log process on the event viewer to [Overwrite events as needed]. The monitoring event is
not alerted in the setting other than that.

The event registered in the monitoring event tree on the setting tool of alert function (Alert Manager)
is not alerted to the manager if Alert Manager Main Service does not operate. Even when the service
is operating, if the enabled/disabled flag of each alerting ways is disabled, the event is not alerted. The
alert enabled/disabled flag is set by selecting [Base Setting]
–
[Report] Properties from [Setting] of
Alert Manager. Also the event occurred before Eventlog Service started at the time of system start-up
cannot be alerted.

You can set the time to the shutdown by selecting [Base Setting]
–
[Other] on the setting tool of the
alert function (Alert Manager). The initial value is 20 seconds. When you set smaller value than this,
the alert may not be performed at the time of shutdown.

When an alert failure occurs at the time of alerting of monitoring target event, an error message is
logged in the event log. If you newly log the error message which occurs at the time of alerting as a
monitoring target event, the error at the time of alerting will be alerted again. As the result, large
number of alerts will be sent when recovering the failure. This leads to the increase of system load
and the degradation of the performance. Do not register the events especially which are produced by
the following alert function services as the monitoring target.
Alert Manager ALIVE(S) Service
Alert Manager Main Service
Alert Manager Socket(S) Service
