  Support
  Help
- Main title area. The area under the master header and menu contains the following items.
  Title. The title of the section of page you are viewing.
  Host Name. The name of the system.
  System Model. The model appears as Unknown if the HP Insight Management Agent for servers is not installed on the system.
  Management Processor. The name of the management processor.
  Data Source. Indicates which source is populating management data. For instance, WBEM for HP Insight Management WBEM Providers or SNMP for HP Insight Management Agents. If no source is installed, no data string will appear.
  Icons. An option that enables you to switch between icon and list view modes when clicked.
  Bread crumbs. The area under the main title that is divided into four parts.
  First level menu item
  Legend. A link that, when clicked, displays a tooltip box listing all possible statuses of webapps.

The data frame shows the status for all HP Web-enabled System Management Software and utilities on the system.

Information Areas

Depending on your operating system (Linux or Windows), the following information areas appear in the header or data frames:

HP SMH Pages
Current User. The Current User displays the identity of the user that is signed in.
- If the user is a operating system-based user, a Sign Out link appears.
- If anonymous access is enabled, the Current User displays hpsmh_anonymous and the Sign In link appears.
- If Local Access is enabled, the Current User displays hpsmh_local_anonymous or hpsmh_local_administrator, depending on what level of access has been enabled, and local access appears below user type.
- If user type is hpsmh_local_administrator, no sign in or sign out link appears.
Boxes. Boxes display webapps results in a list of items with their result status.
- An Overall System Health Status icon represents the worst status of items inside the box and appears in the title bar along with the title.
- Under the title bar, is a list of items in the box. Each item can have a status icon to the left of its name.
- In the footer of the box, is an expansion line with a link that, when clicked, expands the height of the box to include the total number of items if the items exceed the five-line limit.
Loading screen. When an item is selected, a status indicator appears as the Loading screen during the load process of the page. This prevents users from selecting other items after the initial selection.
Number of columns. The number of boxes or columns presented in each line in the list view mode is defined by the display resolution setting. For example, if your resolution is set at 800x600, only three boxes are presented in a line, while in greater resolutions, the number of boxes visible is four.
Notes. Notes are sections placed on the right side and used in most pages. These notes inform you how to use the controls and what kind of values is expected.
Icon view. Icons appear for items and sections. When an icon is clicked, another page appears with its items as icons. You can view the status of the items inside the box by hovering your mouse over the icon to view a tooltip containing the total of Critical, Major, Minor and Warning statuses of installed applications.
Timeout Warnings. Timeout warnings appear as a tooltip box in the page footer on the right side when you do not load a page in SMH within the time limit set for timeouts.
Dynamic Lists in Pages. A dynamically created list of elements appears for each item you want to add or remove to a page and are available for the following pages:
- IP Binding
- IP Restricted Login
- Trust Mode
- Kerberos Authentication
- User Groups
Legend: This link displays a tooltip box that lists the status of the installed webapps.
