Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager 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 more than 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.
Features of Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager includes the following:
■ Web browser access to Insight Manager Device and Configuration information is
available anywhere you have network access and a standard Web browser for Windows
and NetWare servers.
■ Comprehensive fault management allows proactive management of the distributed
enterprise by alerting you in advance of potential system failures.
■ Windows NT monitoring capability allows faster determination of the root cause of
system and application faults by being able to quickly determine whether hardware or
software causes an event.
■ Broad configuration management provides effective deployment and maintenance of
consistent, manageable configurations with Insight Version Control and Integration Server
Maintenance. Version Control and Integration Server Maintenance allows the
administrator to monitor and update versions of the server and workstation firmware,
drivers, and utilities.

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

management products.
