What We Monitor
HP Procurve devices are managed switches that also have some routing functionality. CimTrak for Network Devices monitors the device configuration for changes, logs the changes, and then notifies the responsible parties of them.
How CimTrak for HP Procurve Works
When CimTrak locks an HP Procurve device for monitoring, it reads the configuration of the device. It calculates a digital signature for the configuration, and stores it in CimTrak’s master repository along with a copy of the configuration. At user-configured intervals, CimTrak reads the contents of the configuration, calculates the digital signature, and compares it to the signature stored in CimTrak’s master repository.
When CimTrak detects a change in the configuration, that configuration and its digital signature
