Integrated Management Log
IML records system events and stores them in an easily viewable form. Each event is marked
with a time-stamp with one-minute granularity.
Events listed in the Integrated Management Log are categorized as one of four event severity
levels:
• Status—indicates that the message is informational only.
• Repaired—indicates that corrective action has been taken.
• Caution—indicates a nonfatal error condition.
• Critical—indicates a component failure.
The Integrated Management Log requires operating system-dependent drivers from Compaq.
Refer to the Compaq Support Software CD for instructions on installing the appropriate
drivers.
Multiple Ways of Viewing the Log
You can view an event in the IML in several ways:
• From within Compaq Insight Manager
• From within the Compaq Survey Utility
• From within the IML Management Utility
Compaq Insight Manager
Compaq Insight Manager is a comprehensive management tool used 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-enhanced; 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 agent
software. Agents act upon data by initiating information, such as statistics on network
interface or storage subsystem performance.
