HPOM includes a self-management policy that monitors the service discovery agent. The service discovery agent must be running on every node that you want to manage. This policy makes sure you know about any problems with the service discovery agent and helps you to solve them.
The OvSvcDiscErrorLog policy checks approximately every five minutes for any entries in the error log file of the service discovery agent. If entries match the search pattern, a message is sent to the active message browser.
