The utility is designed to enable monitoring of multiple systems from a central location. Thus, the clients are installed on all the remote systems to be monitored - not just the one where the Health Advisor application itself is installed. You install the primary application on an AR System 7.6.04 server and the then you can monitor multiple other 7.5.00 or later servers in your environment.
If you only have one system and you want it to monitor itself, then you'd need to be on AR System 7.6.04. -David J.

So it monitors AR System Server 7.5, but you need 7.6.04 installed to run it? I know I'm not a smart man, but I find that a bit confusing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Easter" <david_eas...@bmc.com> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2012 4:44:08 PM Subject: Re: Introducing BMC Remedy Health Advisor utility ** Ø I checked the docs but doesnt specifically mention with what version of ARS it is compatible with.
