OpManager supports over 10,000 device types, with some 50 IBM device templates ready to be used out of the box. Templates allow OpManager to classify all discovered devices neatly in its inventory. Let’s see an example: if you set up a template for an IBM webserver with a monitor for checking the CPU usage every 10 minutes, then all discovered IBM servers will be assigned to this template. You can configure monitors and monitoring settings for templates. Leverage device templates to reduce deployment time: Device templates contain information such as the device type, category, vendor, and a unique vendor assigned ID. Rules can be set for actions like adding a monitor, adding devices to groups, or adding notification channels.

OpManager simplifies this with its discovery rule engine where you can automate mass onboarding. Your IBM devices alone would include servers, RAIDs, switches, routers, firewalls, and so on. What makes OpManager a cut above the rest?Īutomate device discovery and onboarding: Device onboarding can be a tough nut to crack-especially given the different types of devices that you’d want to monitor. What if there was a single solution for all of these problems? Sounds too good to be true? Well, read on, as the rest of this blog details how ManageEngine OpManager can help you deal with these challenges, especially for your IBM devices.

And rightfully so, considering their role in many of our technological innovations over the past century. IBM, popularly known as Big Blue, is one of the most recognized brands in the world.
