Preface

This document provides instructions for downloading and configuring HP Insight Management Agents on HP Integrity servers running Linux. As of this publication, these agents work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server (SLES).

Based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), HP Insight Management Agents allow you to remotely monitor configuration information and system status on your Integrity server from any SNMP browser. A central management server using HP Insight Manager 7 or HP Systems Insight Manager gathers and organizes the raw agent information from the browser for display in reports, allowing you to monitor system use and troubleshoot problems.

	IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you review the “Release Notes” section of this document prior to installing and configuring the HP Insight Management Agents. The release notes contain important information pertaining to the current release of the management agents.
