Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |

Supported Agents
The following agents are supported:
| Agent | Description |
|---|---|
| SNMP Agent | Provides information about the operating systems, device types, installed software, and other system resources information. SNMP agents can usually be extended to support new MIBs, exposing more data for management purposes. |
| WMI Agent | Microsoft's remote management agent, which is usually available for access by a remote administrator. The WMI agent is also extensible by adding WMI providers to the generic agent. |
| Telnet/SSH Agent (or daemon) |
Used mostly on UNIX systems to connect remotely to a machine and to launch various commands to obtain data. |
| Universal Discovery Agent | A remote administration technology similar in functionality to Telnet/SSH that enables launching any console command on Windows/UNIX/Mac OS X machines. The Universal Discovery Agent (UD Agent) implements a Web Services interface that is secured by the HTTPS protocol to secure communication between the Data Flow Probe and the UD Agent. Additionally, an RSA 2048-bit key is implemented together with 3DES 168-bit encryption. |
| HPCmd |
A remote administration technology similar in functionality to Telnet/SSH that enables launching any console command on Windows machines. HPCmd relies on Administrative Shares & Remove Service Administration APIs to function correctly. The HPCmdSvc.exe file is signed by an HP digital certificate. To validate that HPCmdSvc.exe is provided by HP, right-click the HPCmdSvc.exe file, select Properties and view the digital signatures. |
| Application specific | Depends on the remote application to function as an agent and respond appropriately to the Probe's remote queries, for example, database discoveries, Web server discoveries, and SAP and Siebel discoveries. |
