INTELLIGENT EVENT MODULE BASICS
The HP AlphaServer RMC/SROM Intelligent Event
Module™ (IEM) enables you to automate real-time
monitoring of HP
®
AlphaServer
®
systems running
RMC/SROM firmware and capture the critical
information you need for effective enterprise
management.
The HP AlphaServer RMC/SROM IEM provides
ConsoleWorks
®
with a watch-list of text messages,
including error codes, system warnings, and status
alerts, produced by AlphaServer ES40 and ES45
systems running RMC/SROM firmware. ConsoleWorks
watches for these messages, called Events, in the data
streams of your managed systems.
Events
When ConsoleWorks detects an Event, it alerts you to
the Event as it is happening, records the circumstances
surrounding the Event, and automatically performs the
default or customer-configured responses associated
with that Event.
Scans
IEMs come with Events pre-arranged in logical
groupings, called Scans
. Working with a Scan—or a
combination of Scans—instead of hundreds of
individual Events simplifies managing Events across
your enterprise.

Associate the Scans
Associate the Scans with the systems you want
ConsoleWorks to monitor. When you associate Scans
with a system, you are specifying that ConsoleWorks
scan the data streams of that system for the Events
contained in the Scans.
ConsoleWorks provides you with three options for
associating Scans:
Associate individual Scans with one or more
systems.
Associate groups of Scans with one or more
systems.
Create a Scan containing only the Events you want
monitored and associate this customized Scan with
one or more systems.
Note: While you can associate any Scan with any
application, system, or device, only associate a Scan
with the application, system, or device appropriate for
