Define connections for process browsing
When you define a process data source, you can select processes from other systems.
You must have credentials for the other systems or they must be monitored by a Tivoli Monitoring operating system agent.
Procedure
- To define a connection, click Add in the Process Browser window (Figure 3). You can select either a connection type (Secure Shell (SSH), Windows, or Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Managed System) or select an existing connection to use as a template.

To add a Managed System connection, you require a Tivoli Enterprise Server host name, Tivoli Monitoring user name, and password. You also require the managed system name of the remote connection. When a managed system is selected, the table lists the process on the remote system.
The OS agent must be running on the system you are attempting to browse. The agent must also be connected to a running Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
To add Secure Shell (SSH) or Windows connections, you require a host name, user name, and password.
- When you add a connection, you can select the connection from the Connection Name list in the Process Browser window.
If all the fields required to make the connection are not saved (for example, the password), the Connection Properties window for that connection opens. Enter the missing information. For Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server Managed System connections, you must connect to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server before you can enter a managed system.
- Enter your user name and password, and then click the Refresh (lightening bolt) icon to connect before you select the managed system.

To delete a connection, select the connection and click Edit to open the Connection Properties window. Select the Remove this connection check box and click OK.
