11 Managing with tasks

HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to manage

systems

and

events

by scheduling and executing

tasks. Tasks are actions performed using an HP SIM

tool

. Task instances are an executed single instance of

a

task

.

Users can:

Create their own variation of a task

Schedule a task

Modify a task they created

Delete a task

Stop an executing task

Track task status

Task information is available by selecting:

Tasks & Logs

View All Scheduled Tasks

or

Tasks & Logs

View Task Results

User privileges

The list of tasks that a

user

can see is based on the user's configuration and access level. All users are allowed

to edit, delete, and view the tasks they created. A user with

full configuration rights

is allowed to edit, delete,

and view tasks other users created.

NOTE:

HP SIM provides some system delivered tasks or default tasks. These tasks can be disabled or have

their schedules modified but cannot be removed or reassigned to another user. HP SIM requires these tasks
to provide a complete picture of the systems that are being monitored.

See

“Users and authorizations”

for more information on user privileges and configuration rights.
