status is determined by information collected live through the WBEM protocol and the information
provided by the WMI provider.

the target system.
•

System Status Panel This panel provides uncleared event status, system health status information, and
an alarm to notify you about certain events or statuses. The System Status panel is in the upper left
corner of the Systems Insight Manager GUI and can be customized by clicking the Customize link
within the panel.
Viewing health status from the table or icon view
To display the next level of status detail from any page in Systems Insight Manager that shows a health status
icon, place your cursor over the icon and additional status detail information appears. The status values that
appear depend on the agents installed on the target system.
In some cases, the system is a container, such as a rack, enclosure, complex , or cluster. In the table and
icon views, the status value is the status of the container and does not include status of subsystems. If the
status is Unknown, only the system name and Unknown status icon appears.
Viewing health status in the tree view
The tree view displays status data for each system, as well as rollup status for container systems. The status
icon is located on the left side of the tree view next to the selection checkbox. For systems that are containers,
the status to the left of the container name indicates the most critical status of the systems in the container,
including the container status itself. The status of the container itself, if there is one, appears to the right of
the system name, inside parentheses, alongside the system type label. Placing your cursor over the status
icons will reveal additional status details.
