5 Viewing hardware alert notifications
This chapter describes the Insight Control for vCenter hardware alert events and alarms.
Insight Control for vCenter events
Insight Control for vCenter loads events from Onboard Administrator, HP SNMP agents, and HP
CIM providers into vCenter Server, enabling administrators to view and manage them from the
vSphere Client. This provides administrators with a single, heterogeneous view of all host system
events within the managed environment.
To view HP hardware tasks and events, navigate to the Tasks & Events tab in the vSphere Client,
or the Events tab in the vSphere Web Client. See
Figure 17 (page 87) .
