110 Sun Fire V480 Server Administration Guide • February 2002
Sun Management Center lets you monitor the following on the Sun Fire V480 server.
How Sun Management Center Works
The Sun Management Center product comprises three software entities:
■
Agent components
■
Server component
■
Monitor components
You install agents on systems to be monitored. The agents collect system status
information from log files, device trees, and platform-specific sources, and report
that data to the server component.
The server component maintains a large database of status information for a wide
range of Sun platforms. This database is updated frequently, and includes
information about boards, tapes, power supplies, and disks as well as operating
system parameters like load, resource usage, and disk space. You can create alarm
thresholds and be notified when these are exceeded.
The monitor components present the collected data to you in a standard format. Sun
Management Center software provides both a standalone Java application and a
Web browser-based interface. The Java interface affords physical and logical views
of the system for highly-intuitable monitoring.
