User interface options

Installation of the base IBM Tivoli Monitoring software and other integrated applications provides various interfaces that you can use to work with your resources and data.

The following interfaces are available:

Tivoli Enterprise Portal user interface

You can run the Tivoli Enterprise Portal as a desktop application or a browser application. The client interface is a graphical user interface (GUI) based on Java on a Windows or Linux workstation. The browser application is automatically installed with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The desktop application is installed using the Tivoli Monitoring installation media or with a Java Web Start application. To start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client in your Internet browser, enter the URL for a specific Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client installed on your Web server.

Command-line interface

You can use Tivoli Monitoring commands to manage the Tivoli Monitoring components and their configuration. You can also run commands at the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server or the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer to configure event synchronization for enterprise situations.

Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window

You can use the window for the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility to configure the agent and start Tivoli services not designated to start automatically.

IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event list

You can use the Netcool/OMNIbus event list to monitor and manage events. An event is created when the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer receives an event, alert, message, or data item. Each event is made up of columns (or fields) of information that are displayed in a row in the ObjectServer alerts.status table. The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus web GUI is also a web-based application that processes network events from one or more data sources and presents the event data in various graphical formats.

IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console

You can use the Tivoli Enterprise Console to help ensure the optimal availability of an IT service for an organization. The Tivoli Enterprise Console is an event management application that integrates system, network, database, and application management. If you do not already use Tivoli Enterprise Console and need an event management component, you can choose to use Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.

IBM Tivoli Common Reporting

Use the Tivoli Common Reporting web user interface for specifying report parameters and other report properties, generating formatted reports, scheduling reports, and viewing reports. This user interface is based on the Tivoli Integrated Portal.

IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager

The Discovery Management Console is the TADDM client user interface for managing discoveries.

IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager

The Tivoli Business Service Manager console provides a graphical user interface that you can use to logically link services and business requirements within the service model. The service model provides an operator with a second-by-second view of how an enterprise is performing at any moment in time or how the enterprise performed over a time period.
