SEN_HW_CONNECTOR
Each instance of the SEN_HW_CONNECTOR class represents a connector currently used by BPM Express for Hardware in order to discover and monitor the hardware components of the server.
Connectors are continuously monitored to ensure that the underlying technology used by BPM
Express for Hardware to discover and monitor the hardware functions properly.
If something goes wrong with the hardware instrumentation layer (but not with the hardware itself), an alert is raised by the Status parameter of the corresponding SEN_HW_CONNECTOR instance.
In this case, hardware components that were discovered and monitored through this connector will no longer be monitored. Check the Test Report parameter to have more details about the connector failure.

SEN_HW_CPU
Each instance of the SEN_HW_CPU class represents a physical processor of the server. On high-range servers, the Status parameter will raise an alert "on the fly" as soon as a processor fails. On most servers however, a failed processor causes a server crash. Upon reboot, the processor is likely to be automatically disabled by the BIOS which will then raise an alert in BPM Express for Hardware because the processor is "missing".
The Corrected Error Count and Predicted Failure parameters (available only for a few high-end processors) help administrators intervene before such a crash occurs.

SEN_HW_FAN
This class creates monitoring objects for each cooling sensor it discovers. Depending on the system and the data available, one or more parameters will be associated to the fan monitoring. Critical devices like processors, power supplies etc, have fans to avoid over-heating. Monitoring fans is important because they ensure a proper temperature for the system to work efficiently.
Depending on the available information, the Speed and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each detected fan device:
The Speed parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan (in rotations/minute). An alert is raised through Status if the fan speed is too low for proper functioning.
The Speed Percent parameter represents the speed of the corresponding fan in percentage of its maximal speed.
The Status parameter represents the overall status of the fan. An alert is triggered if the fan stops spinning or does not spin fast enough.

SEN_HW_LOGICALDISK
This class creates instances for each logical disk discovered. Logical disks are often a group of physical disks, configured as an array (RAID 0, 1, 5, etc.) and exposed to the operating system as a single physical volume.
The status of a logical disk typically corresponds to the status of a RAID array (on-line, degraded, rebuilding, etc.). For each logical disk discovered, the Status parameter is displayed.
The Error Count parameter represents number of errors encountered by the logical disk since the last counter reset. The error count is automatically reset every 24th hour (by default; this setting is configurable).
The Status parameter represents the overall status of the logical disk. An alert is triggered when the logical disk is not fully operational (degraded, rebuilding, etc.) or not available at all. It triggers an alert if the logical disk missing or if any of the other parameters have breached their thresholds.
It is only Status that will trigger and display the alerts. When all is fine, Status shows “OK”, and when there is a problem, it shows “Warning!” or “Alarm!!” with a detailed description of the issue, its consequences and recommended actions. The alert conditions for Status are: “!”=Warning;
“!!”=Alarm. Example: “OK” or “Alarm!!” This logical disk is no longer detected."

SEN_HW_MAIN
The SEN_HW_MAIN class is responsible for the initialization of all the subclasses (i.e SEN_HW_Fan,
SEN_HW_LOGICALDISK, SEN_HW_CPU etc). This class has just one parameter called Machine Status.
Machine Status is a text parameter that reports whether the BPM Express for Hardware on the RSM is able to communicate with the targeted remote element. It detects whether or not the remote element is accessible for monitoring i.e. whether or not the remote element is up & running and can be monitored.
Values for this parameter are: “OK” and “WARNING”.
Example for OK
“<hostname> is alive. Detected as <OS>. Protocols used: (SNMP/WBEM/ Telnet/SSH)
If this parameter reports that the application cannot communicate with this host, it could be due to any of the following reasons:
A firewall prevents communication between the RSM and the managed server
The WMI layer has not been installed or is disabled (Windows only)
Neither SSH nor telnet connections are allowed on the managed server (UNIX and Linux only)
The supplied credentials are incorrect
The SNMP community string is wrong
None of the connectors match the platform of the remote element
Some examples of possible “Warning!” alerts:
The remote element is down.
Example
“<hostname> is down. Problem: Either the remote element is not currently running or the firewall is preventing access to the element.”
The remote element is up and running, but none of the connectors match the platform of the remote element.
Example
“<hostname> is alive. Problem: None of the connectors match this platform.”
The remote element is up and running, but the host platform cannot be detected.

SEN_HW_MEMORY
Each instance of the SEN_HW_MEMORY module represents a memory module in the server.
The Status parameter will raise an "on the fly" alert on servers that can dynamically handle failed memory modules or, most often, for modules that have been disabled by the BIOS upon reboot (the module is then flagged as "missing").
The Error Count parameter represents the number of errors that have been fixed by ECC-enabled memory modules.
In some case, the Predicted Failure parameter is used to alert administrators that the memory module is about to fail.
The use of the Error Count, or Predicted Failure parameter depends on the technology being used to report the health of memory modules.

SEN_HW_NETWORK
Each SEN_HW_NETWORK instance represents a network adapter in the server.
The Link Status reports whether or not the adapter is properly linked to the network from a pure hardware cable perspective (it will not report a bad IP configuration for example). By default, the
Link Status parameter raises an alert (through Status) only for previously connected network adapters that are no longer linked to the network.
The Error Percent parameter represents the percentage of sent and received network packets that were in error. A high percentage of errors often means that the network link is improperly configured or that the network card is functioning erratically and thus needs to be replaced.
The Status parameter displays the overall status of the instance. It raises an alert if any of the other parameters breach their thresholds. Alerts are triggered only through the Status parameter.

SEN_HW_PHYSICALDISK
Each instance of this class represents a hard drive detected on the platform by BPM Express for
Hardware. Its purpose is to monitor the status of each hard drive and possibly detect an incoming failure.
Physical disks must be monitored to avoid loss of data, un-availabilities and performance degradation.
When available, S.M.A.R.T technology will be used to predict a disk failure before it occurs. Depending on the available information, the Predicted Failure and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each discovered physical disk:
The Predicted Failure parameter uses S.M.A.R.T technology to predict physical disk failures. An alert will be triggered if it is predicted that the physical disk will soon break down. The Status parameter represents the current status of the physical disk. An alert is triggered if the physical disk is not available for proper operation.
The Error Count parameter is incremented each time an error occurs on this physical disk. An alert is raised by the Status parameter from the first detected error.

SEN_HW_POWERSUPPLY
Each instance of this class represents a power supply in the system. It is used to monitor their status and to indicate when a power supply is malfunctioning and needs attention.
Power supply is critical and should never fail, which is why servers often have redundant power supplies. Monitoring power supplies allows the operators to be alerted when a power supply fails, or in some cases when a power supply is overloaded. Depending on the information available, the Used
Capacity and/or Status parameters will be displayed for each power supply or power unit device:
The Used Capacity parameter represents the power supply’s power currently in use in percentage.
An alert is triggered if the computer uses too much power than it can be supplied.
The Status parameter represents the current status of the power supply. An alert is triggered if an error occurs with the power supply.

SEN_HW_VOLTAGE
The purpose of this class is to monitor power supply voltages. For each voltage sensor (+5V, +12V, -5V, etc.), an instance is created in a container with a label describing its type.
If the computer’s configuration allows a reading of the voltages, the values will be available in the
Voltage parameter and an alert will be triggered if they do not meet the automatically set thresholds.
Otherwise, the Status parameter will inform you if a problem occurs with one of the voltages.

Thresholds
BPM Express for Hardware dynamically sets the thresholds on all of its parameters depending on the platform it is running on. This is why a recapitulative table of the alert thresholds of BPM Express for
Hardware cannot be provided. It takes the manufacturer-set thresholds for each component and sets alert rules accordingly.
As you have seen in the previous section, it is Status, the text parameter that displays alert conditions.
BPM Express for Hardware assigns the pre-set thresholds to its symbolic conditions of exclamation marks.
For instance, when a manufacturer-set threshold reaches warning levels, BPM Express for Hardware translates it to “Warning!” with one exclamation mark, which triggers a Warning alert in the Portal; and for an alarm-level breach, the Status parameter is set to “Alarm!!” with two exclamation marks, which triggers an Alarm alert in the Portal. When a problem occurs, it is the Status parameter that reports
“WARNING!” or “ALARM!!” followed by a full description of the encountered problem, the possible consequences and the recommended action. Nevertheless, it is possible to modify these pre-set thresholds via the Configure tab.
