Embedded performance component that collects
performance counter and instance data from the
operating system. Threshold monitor templates are
used to access performance metrics collected by the
embedded performance component.
Action agent that is responsible for starting and
controlling automatic actions, operator-initiated
actions, and scheduled actions (that is, scripts and
programs). The action agent is also used for command
broadcasting and for applications configured as
Window (Input/Output).
Distribution agent that requests node-specific
configurations from the distribution manager
(opcdistm). Scripts and programs required for
automatic actions, operator-initiated actions, scheduled
actions, monitoring requests, and broadcasting
requests can also be distributed through the
distribution manager.
Event correlation agent that connects to the agent
MSI in the same way that the ECS runtime library is
integrated into the HPOM server. This connection
allows access to and modification of messages from the
HPOM message flow on the agent. The messages
modified by this process display in the Message
Details window (available from the Message Browser)
with the message source “MSI: opceca”. Like all agent
processes, this process is controlled by the control
agent.
