Insight Integration for Netcool/OMNIbus v5.0

The HP Insight Integration for Netcool/OMNIbus provides infrastructure management across a wide range of operating system platforms. This enables IT administrators to manage HP ProLiant servers, storage and other enterprise resources within a common Netcool/OMNIbus environment.

The HP Insight integration for Netcool/OMNIbus provides definitions for over 2550 individual events, defined in its rules file and to correlate nearly 785 SNMP events. These definitions and rules integrate closely with the Netcool/OMNIbus application using the Mttrapd probe, enabling HP SNMP events and Fibre Channel Management SNMP events to be identified, processed, translated, and appear on the Event List.

• Rules file and lookup file to include HP SNMP events for ProLiant servers and storage provided with Insight Management Agents v8.60, and through other currently supported HP MIBs.
• Support for all events for ProLiant servers.
• All HP events received in Event List must indicate color-coded severity as defined by the Netcool/OMNIbus specification.
• HP pre-defined rules (.rls files) to support all event definitions that have a clear correlation (e.g. physical and logical drive events, and degraded events for redundant sub-systems), and that automatically close all related events when the original instance is resolved.
• Provides support upto HP Insight Management Agents version 8.60 for ProLiant servers.
• Provides predefined rules that identify and correlate nearly 785 HP ProLiant and Fibre Channel Management SNMP events.
