Monitoring HP Operations Manager for Windows
The vpstat tool is a command line utility consisting of several tools for checking system status, file version, critical services, registry entries, DCOM servers, RPC servers, minimal system requirements and critical processes for HP Operations Manager for Windows.
Each tool within vpstat is launched with its own command. Help is available with the -? option. For example, to view help for the -3 command (List Services), type vpstat -3 -? at the Windows command prompt.
Items that are verified depend on the contents of the
configuration file. All commands except the -1 command use this
file. The requirements are read from it and compared with the
actual state of the HPOM for Windows program. In case of a
mismatch, noncompliant items are displayed to the screen. The
default configuration file, vpstat.conf, is provided
with the tool. The file vpstat.conf should only be
modified by support personnel.
The file vpstat.conf is version dependent. The
[CHKVER] section of the configuration file lists all the HPOM for
Windows files that are part of the product. If the product is
updated, then some of these files may also be updated and show new
versions or different time stamps. In short, for every new version
and/or patch and/or build, the [CHKVER] section of the
configuration file vpstat.conf should be updated. If
with the new version some new services and/or processes are
introduced, other sections should also be updated.
