Integrating NerveCenter with HP OpenView IT/Operations

You can integrate NerveCenter with HP OpenView IT/Operations. HP OpenView IT/Operations can send messages to NerveCenter for additional correlation or processing. NerveCenter correlates these messages with related events that might result in corrective actions or a message for the operator. In addition, NerveCenter can send a message back to HP OpenView IT/Operations in response to any network event, whether or not it was initiated by an HP OpenView IT/Operations message. One NerveCenter Server works with at most one HP OpenView IT/Operations, and vice versa.
