Electronic Services is an IBM support approach that is made up of the Electronic Service
Agent (ESA) and the Electronic Services website.
The Electronic Service Agent is a no-charge software tool that gets installed on your system
to monitor events and securely transmit system inventory information to IBM. Two key
functions, automatic hardware problem reporting and service inventory information collection
enable proactive and predictive services as well as faster problem resolution and call
avoidance.
ESA tracks and captures machine inventory, hardware error logs, and automatically reports
hardware problems to IBM if the server is under a service agreement or warranty. The ESA
inventory includes the following information:
Your support contact information, including names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses
