1.1Introduction to ASWM EnterpriseWelcome! Thank for buying our server products bundled with ASWM EnterpriseSystem Web-based Management software. The ASWM Enterprise is a proprietaryserver management solution that gives a vital distinction to our servers.In server management, system stability is a major factor, with efficiency, costeffectiveness, and convenience following close behind. To comply with this, wehave created a reliable and user-friendly ASWM Enterprise monitoring tool. TheASWM Enterprise is a web-based interface that allows system administrators toconveniently manage computers either locally (from the same server), or remotely(using a web-browser).With its colorful, graphical, and informative interface, the ASWM Enterprise makesserver management a delightful experience!1.1.1How ASWM Enterprise worksThe ASWM Enterprise is composed of an “agent” that generally acts as a datacollector, and a set of HTTP web pages that serve as the user interface (UI). Thedata collected by the agent, which are essential for the continuous monitoringoperations performed by ASWM Enterprise, are displayed in the UI.In the monitoring process, the agent basically keeps track of the hardware andsoftware status of the system. The agent has “sensors” that monitor fan rotationspeeds (in RPM), working voltages, motherboard and CPU temperatures, and thebackplane (if present).In addition, the agent also monitors hard disk drives health status through theSMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) feature, spaceutilization of a file system, CPU or system memory loading, and even the trafficstatus of a network device.The agent records the history of the detected status of all monitored hardwareitems. The status record includes the time of alert events (fan, voltage, ortemperature), and the type of alert event (critical, warning, or normal).You can also configure ASWM Enterprise to react to exceptional situations. Forexample, the administrator can be automatically notified by e-mail when a harddrive starts to malfunction or when a chassis intrusion is detected. In this way,ASWM Enterprise acts as an active guardian of the system’s key components.1-2Chapter 1: Getting started
