ASUS System Management Software User’s Manual
ASMA for Windows
ASMA Introduction
ASUS System Monitoring Agent is an SNMP agent. This software
module enables computers to be managed by Network Management
Stations (NMSs) through the Internet. ASUS System Monitoring Agent
can report computer fan RPMs, voltage levels, system temperatures,
CPU temperatures, and chassis intrusion to the NMS. ASUS System
Monitoring Agent can enable or disable Automatic Server Restart
(ASR) function remotely from an NMS through the Internet. ASR is a
function that can reboot the computer system automatically when a
computer system hangs. ASUS System Monitoring Agent also support
Remote Reboot function. Users can reboot the computer system from
an NMS through the Internet.
ASUS System Monitoring Agent provides extensions to the Windows
NT Performance Monitor utility that allow you to monitor the computer
fan speeds, voltage levels, system temperatures, and CPU
temperatures on either the local or remote computers without using
an NMS. All you needed is the Windows NT Performance Monitor.
If you have installed a Web Administration for Microsoft Windows NT
Server (software module from Windows NT Resource Kit) and ASUS
System Monitoring Agent on the same server, then authorized users
can monitor computer fan speeds, voltage levels, system
temperatures, and CPU temperatures from any Web browser.
ASUS System Monitoring Agent can record the history of ASUS
System Monitoring Agent status. The status includes the time during
which alert events (fan/voltage/temperature) occur and what type alert
events (fatal/warning/normal) occur. The status also logs the time
ASR/Remote Reboot/Chassis Intrusion is enabled or disabled. These
status events are all logged in the Windows NT Application event log
file. Users can view these event log easily from Windows NT event
viewer. These status events are displayed in different colors (for
example, red for critical events, yellow for warning events, and blue
for normal indication events). Through different colors, one quick look
at the screen will cover the entire scope of every computer status
across the enterprise. Users can also view another computer's ASUS
System Monitoring Agent's event log remotely by logging into that
server’s Windows NT event viewer.
