# Monitoring systems over a network

You can monitor other systems over a network. To do so, the ServeRAID Manager must be installed and running on your local system and on the other systems. Then, you can add the remote systems to your ServeRAID Manager tree. Also, you can choose to use the ServeRAID Manager agent, instead of the ServeRAID Manager program.

Note: You cannot monitor other systems in startable-CD mode or when using the ServeRAID Manager as a plug-in application.

In addition to the ServeRAID Manager, you can use the following:

- The Notification Manager is a tool that you can use to notify other systems running the ServeRAID Manager of all events that occur on this (that is, the local) system.
- You can use the Security Manager to give users the ability to configure and view controller information from remote systems.
- Use the SNMP Trap Manager to notify other systems running an SNMP console (such as IBM Director) of all SNMP traps that occur on this (that is, the local) system.
- Use the Email Notification Manager to notify users by email when events occur on the local system. You can send email notifications to anyone on the network; the recipient does not have to be running ServeRAID Manager.
- Use the Task Manager to manage scheduled tasks on local or remote systems, such as logical drive migration or synchronization. You can modify the task schedule, delete the scheduled task, or view task properties.
