HP Insight Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager (V2.20)

Overview

The HP Insight Management Pack (IMP) for Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) integrates event monitoring and alert processing for HP ProLiant servers into MOM.
The IMP integration builds upon the core elements of HP Insight Management Agents to complement and extend MOM and to maximize existing IT investments. HP customers who implement MOM for enterprise-class event and performance monitoring can use the IMP to help streamline IT administration and increase systems availability by viewing events for Microsoft Windows operating systems, Windows applications, and HP hardware through a common MOM interface.
The HP IMP includes an extensive collection of predefined rules and scripts that automatically identify HP servers and provide alert notifications to potential problems through the MOM console interface. Comprehensive knowledgebase data provided with the IMP aids in problem analysis and time-to-resolution. Over 650 event processing rules include alert forwarding definitions that enable administrators to take prompt corrective or preventive action, thus reducing unnecessary down time. HP hardware alerts in MOM also include an embedded browser launch to the HP The System Management Homepage displays a consolidated view of single system status and configuration based on data collected by the Insight Management Agents, and provides access to other HP Web-based management tools such, as the Version Control Agents, Insight Management Diagnostics, and the Array Configuration Utility. Additional links to the Web interface for HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Remote Insight management are also included in related MOM alerts.
