Hi Andrew. I'll check that out. I use Powershell off & on for remote admin, so i'm familiar with it. Over the last day or so I configured the AMS/iLO SNMP on 3 servers. From the configuration screen in iLO, you can send a test trap. With all 3, as soon as I clicked the "test" button, HP SIM showed the alert. But I only ever received an e-mail for machine "a". the other 2 machine's alerts produced no e-mail. And the one email I got was immediate. That problem is still at the top of my list....I always get my alerts, but only a portion end up sending an e-mail. That defeats the purpose of most of SIM for me. IT management is just going to say, "what happens when hardware fails after hours or on the weekend and nobody gets alerted." I can manually log in to SIM and check hardware status during business hours but the e-mailing problem is preventing SIM from being a hardware monitoring solution. I'm going to install Wireshark on my HP SIM server to watch and see if SIM even *tries* to send out an e-mail - wireshark can show me attempted SMTP traffic over tcp port 25....this will let me know if SIM is not even trying to send an e-mail, or if it is but its getting blocked or lost during transmission. I suspect its not attempting to send. If you have any thoughts about the e-mail issue I'll definitely listen!
