IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1

IBM Tivoli Monitoring components - HTTP Agent

In the following section, the key components of an IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) environment, which run in a server/client/agent configuration:

TMS

Tivoli Monitoring Services provides the software infrastructure upon which all other ITM components (the TEMS, the TEP server and clients, and all the agents) are built.

TEP

The Tivoli Enterprise Portal is the user interface for ITM agents. It provides the status of the enterprise and views of the data that the various ITCAM Agent for HTTP Servers collect. TEP also gives you access to Take Actions commands and situations that you can use to further customize data collection and reporting.

The TEP comprises two pieces: the TEP server, which generally runs on a centrally located server, and the TEP client, which runs on your users' individual computers and with which they directly interact to query and control the enterprise's running systems. Two different TEP clients are provided:

  • The Tivoli Enterprise Portal workstation client (usually called the desktop client)

  • The TEP browser client, which runs within a Web browser

TEMS

The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server provides framework and database operations for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and the various agents. The agents pass data to the TEMS, and then the TEP server requests the data.

Agents

The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents collect performance data about monitored environments such as HTTP Servers and carry out your users' Take Action commands entered using a TEP client. A Monitoring Agent collects and distributes real-time and historical performance data as needed to a TEMS.

MTMS

Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services provides a full-screen Windows GUI that you can use to check the status of TMS processes such as the TEMS, the TEP server, and the agent, to stop or to recycle them, and to reconfigure them.
