Prerequisites for Hardware Monitoring

It is essential to monitor the hardware components of various critical devices in your network to ensure continuous service availability and network uptime. OpManager, the advanced hardware monitor solution, supports monitoring the hardware status of the servers and network devices in your environment from vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, HP, Dell, Palo Alto, Huawei and others. It monitors various important hardware parameters such as voltage, temperature, power, fan speed, processors, etc., via SNMP for your network and server devices (including HyperV host) and via vSphere for VMware ESX/ESXi hosts. OpManager offers in-depth server and hardware monitoring functionality for your network.
