You can monitor systems, clusters, and events using the tools in the Systems and Events panel. It enables you to drill down to locate more information about systems and events and quickly select systems before performing a task. From this panel, you can quickly access the System Overview page, the All Systems page, and the All Events page. You can also save searches in private collections under Systems or Events. Refer to Monitoring Systems, Clusters, and Events - Saving Collections for more information.

If you upgraded from HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) 4.x to HP SIM 5.0 and you utilized the My Favorites feature, the My Favorites sub-folders and their contents are migrated under the Private collections.

About Collections

A collection groups systems into a collection based on information in the HP SIM database. After a collection is defined, you can display the results or associate it with a task. You can save edited or an unedited collection as a collection with another name.

Creating logical collections of systems, clusters, or events reduces the number of systems, clusters, or events viewed in a particular collection. For example, your organization might have five system administrators who are responsible for 100 different systems in six different buildings. You can create a collection for each administrator that includes only their systems, or you can create a collection for each building that includes only the systems located in that particular building.

Complex collections that contain individual collections or a number or search criteria take more system resources to run. Keep the collection as simple as possible to minimize the performance impacts of individual tasks.
