Test CIM attribute groups

You can test the CIM attribute group that you created, within Agent Builder.


Procedure

  1. Start the Testing procedure in the following ways:

    • During agent creation click Test on the CIM Information page (Figure 2).

    • After agent creation, select an attribute group on the Agent Editor Data Source Definition page and click Test. For more information about the Agent Editor, see The Tivoli Monitoring Agent Editor

    After you click Test in one of the previous two steps, the Test Settings window Figure 1 is displayed

  2. Optional: Set environment variables and configuration properties before you start testing. See (Attribute group testing).

  3. Select or add a Host name. For more about adding a Host name, see Monitor data from a Common Information Model (CIM)

  4. Click Start Agent. A window opens indicating that the Agent is starting.

  5. To simulate a request from Tivoli Enterprise Portal or SOAP for agent data, click Collect Data. The agent queries the CIM Server for data. The Test Settings window collects and shows any data in the agent's cache since it was last started.

  6. Optional: Click Check Results if the returned data is not as you expected. The Data Collection Status window opens and shows you more information about the data. The data that is collected and displayed by the Data collection Status window is described in Performance Object Status node

  7. Stop the agent by clicking Stop Agent.

  8. Click OK or Cancel to exit the Test Settings window. Clicking OK saves any changes that you made.
