Old Noisy Events
Includes events that are transient and happen frequently, but do not generally indicate hardware
failures. For example, link up, link down, and authentication events. These events fill the event
database tables, but do not add value to the hardware event history.
Events Older Than 90 Days
This task deletes events older than 90 days and can help maintain HP SIM by limiting the total
number of events. By default, this task is disabled. To enable the task:
On the All Scheduled Taskspage, click Enable.
In some installations there might be high volumes of events. If so, consider using this task and event
collections as models and creating an event collection for events older than 30 days (for example),
and then creating a task to delete events older than 30 days.
Status Polling for Non Servers
This task collects status information through management protocols (SNMP, WBEM, and so on)
for systems that are not Server, Cluster, or Management Processor type. By default, this task polls
every 10 minutes and at start-up.
NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something
greater than 10 minutes (for example, 15 minutes for every 1,000 systems).
Status Polling for Servers
This task collects status information for SNMP, or WBEM systems that are Server, Cluster, or
Management Processor types. By default, this task polls every 5 minutes and at start-up.
NOTE: If you discover more than 500 systems, HP suggests you change the interval to something
greater than 5 minutes (for example, 10 minutes for every 1,000 systems).
Status Polling for Systems No Longer Disabled
This task runs when a system goes from a disabled state to an enabled state. You could use this
task to get the latest status after a planned maintenance window on a system that was set to
disabled. This should reflect the entire category (inventory, software baseline, and so on) in the
Data Collection report.
Hardware Status Polling for Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator
Hardware status polling should reflect the proper status of the Onboard Administrator and this
status must match with the XML reply data.
Data Collection
This task collects static information from a number of systems that have WBEM, or SNMP running
(for example, serial numbers and model numbers).
Hardware Status Polling
This task runs hardware status polling on systems that are newly discovered. Therefore, you do not
need to wait for the periodic tasks to run before the system has a valid status.
Version Status Polling
This task determines software version update status and is set to run every seven days by default
at midnight. You can edit this task or manually run it at any time.
