HPCA Infrastructure Components

Monitoring tools essentially monitor Windows system information, such as disk space usage, CPU utilization, and Windows service status. These tools can also monitor and extract log file contents to determine the success or failure of the task that the software performs. The HPCA infrastructure monitoring relies on such inherent capabilities of the monitoring tools.

The HPCA infrastructure monitoring solution is designed to ensure that the critical monitoring information is available to third-party external monitoring tools. In the Core-Satellite model, the individual infrastructure components are integrated into two major entities, a Core server and a Satellite server. For both these servers, most of the infrastructure components run as Windows Services. The key operational processes including DCS synchronization and Proxy server Preload are monitored by analyzing the corresponding log file content.

The following table lists the HPCA components and the parameters that you should monitor if you plan to integrate a monitoring solution in your HPCA environment.

HPCA has the ability to integrate with existing HP monitoring products to provide flexible monitoring solution implementations.

HPCA also provides SiteScope solution template that includes a pre-configured set of monitors that you can deploy to monitor multiple aspects of HPCA components in the infrastructure. You can download the latest SiteScope HPCA template and documentation from HP Live Network at https://hpln.hp.com//page/monitoring-hp-client-automation.
