MSM Event Management & Automation
For higher throughput, greater reliability and cost-effectiveness
MSM provides an optional import utility. This powerful and intelligent utility allows requests to automatically record events directly into the MSM system, just as if you were entering the information yourself from the keyboard.
MSM links to a number of sources, including your own procedures, programs and scripts, automation and network management tools (eg. Netman, HP Openview, Robomon), and general SNMP traps.
Our clients use MSM Automation to:
- Automatically record and update infrastructure events
- Identify major incidents before the customer
- Automatically inform the correct support team and affected customers of an infrastructure event
Importing includes:
- Support team name
- Priority and impact codes
- Status and classification details
- Log-file details
- Notification group
- Cost center code
- Location name and CI number
- IP address
Typical usage:
- Registering backup failures
- Recording batch-job failures
- Checking database availability
- Verifying remote nodes are online
- Checking disk space
