5-6 Installing and Using UtilitiesDetection of Server FaultNEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent detect errors causing faults to occur at an earlystage and notify Administrators of fault information real-time. Early detection of errorIf a fault occurs, NEC ESMPRO Agent detects the fault and reports the occurrence of thefault to NEC ESMPRO Manager (alert report). NEC ESMPRO Manager displays thereceived alert in the AlertViewer and also changes the status colors of the server andserver component in which the fault occurs. This allows you to identify the fault at aglance. Further, checking the content of the fault and the countermeasures, you can takeappropriate action for the fault as soon as possible. Types of reported faultsThe table below lists the typical faults reported by NEC ESMPRO Agent.Component Reported informationCPU • CPU load is over the threshold• CPU degrading, etc.Voltage Voltage loweringTemperature Temperature increase in chassis, etc.Fan Fan failure (decrease in the number of revolutions), etc.Storage File system usage rate, etc.LAN • Line fault threshold over• Send retry or send abort threshold over, etc.Prevention of Server FaultNEC ESMPRO Agent includes the preventive maintenance function forecasting the occurrence of afault as countermeasures for preventing faults from occurring.NEC ESMPRO Manager and NEC ESMPRO Agent can set the threshold for the CPU usage rateand the empty capacity in a file system, etc. in the server. If the value of a source exceeds thethreshold, NEC ESMPRO Agent reports the alert to NEC ESMPRO Manager.The preventive maintenance function can be set for a variety of monitoring items including the CPUusage rate.
