its a very specialized application, and is invoked on demnad by the HP
System Management Hompage Service. If you want to, you can disable it or
set
it to manual, as it wont affect the funtionallity of the other agents.
However, you will be cutting yourself off from one of the most
intelligent
features that the. If you are that worried about it, get a real firewall
appliance and call it a day. Then you can use the server for a more
suitable
purpose.

For SNMP trap capturing, read up on HP System Insight Manager. There is a
TON of information on the HP site.

Any environment, large or small, should be managed intelligently.

HP Insight Event Manager starts up in Disabled state. Should I be
worried
about that?

System Management Homepage appears to freeze on startup in the browser at
"Loading Data, Please Wait". The browser is MSIE 7.0, and we have the
Internet Enhanced Security tool enabled. I added to Trusted Sites
https://127.0.0.1. MSIE 7 complains about the certificate. After
timeout I get the homepage, but obviously it is broken, and selecting any
other tab gets same timeout. Any thoughts on how to get that working?

The event notifier requires a little extra setup .... you must identify an
SMTP server for it to use for relaying messages from. Once you do that, the
service will start. If the service is unable to contact the identified SMTP
service upon startup, it wont start.

The hompage isnt loading because your SNMP service has not be setup
properly. Basically, you need to come up with a community string that has
READ CREATE rights, and make sure that it can send traps to, and receive
traps from itselft (localhost) before it will load properly.

IE 7 will bark about that (honestly, I dont see any reason to use IE7 on a
server). You can add the URL into the list of trusted sites, and it should
go away.
