Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manger is a comprehensive management tool to monitor and
control the operation of Compaq servers and clients. Compaq Insight Manager
consists of two components: a Windows-based console application, and server-
or-client-based management data collection agents. Starting with Compaq
Insight Manager 4.0, the agents for Windows NT and Netware are also web-
enabled; that is, these agents enable web browser access and monitoring of
management information.
The management agents monitor over 1,000 management parameters. Key
subsystems are instrumented to make health, configuration, and performance
data available to the agent software. The agents act upon that data, by initiating
information, such as network interface or storage subsystem performance
statistics.
Key Features

■ Web browser access for monitoring provides accessibility to Insight
Manager Device and Configuration from anywhere you have network
access and a standard web browser.
■ Comprehensive fault management allows proactive management of the
distributed enterprise by alerting you in advance of potential system
failures.
■ Broad configuration management provides effective deployment and
maintenance of consistent, manageable configurations with Insight

how servers are utilized and if upgrades or updates are necessary to
increase overall system performance.
