Delete events older than 90 days
This task deletes all events older than 90 days and can be used to help maintain HP SIM itself by limiting
the total number of events. By default, this task is disabled. To enable the task, select the task on the All
Scheduled Tasks
page and click Edit. The Delete Events page appears. Click Schedule to enable the
schedule for the task. See “Creating a task” for more information on scheduling tasks.
In some installs there might be high volumes of events. In this case, use this task and event collections as a
model and possibly create an event collection for events older than 30 days (for example), and then create
a new task to delete events older than 30 days.
Hardware status polling for non servers
This task collects status information through management protocols (SNMP, WBEM, and so on) for systems
that are not of a Server, Cluster, or Management Processor type. This task is configured to poll every 10
minutes and at start up by default.
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 1000 systems.
Hardware status polling for servers
This task collects status information for SNMP systems of type Server, Cluster, or Management Processor.
This task is configured to poll every 5 minutes and at startup by default.
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 1000 systems.
Hardware 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.
Initial data collection
This task collects static information from a number of systems that have WBEM, DMI, or SNMP running, for
example, serial numbers and model numbers. This task is set to run by default when a new system matches
the data collection. See
“Reference information” for more information on what data is collected.
Initial 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.
Software version status polling
This task determines software version update status and is set to run every seven days, on Wednesday at
Midnight, by default. You can edit this task or manually run it at any time.
See “Software status polling” for more information.
Software version status polling for systems no longer disabled
This task runs the software version tool when a system goes from a disabled state to an enabled state, so
that the status of the software loaded on the system is kept current in HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).
See “Software status polling” for more information.
