Organizing the agent
There are a number of ways you can organize the agent.
You can organize the data sources for the agent in the following ways:
A navigator group is a way of grouping data sources in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. By default, a separate navigation item is created in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal under your agent for each data source that you define. A query is associated with that navigator item so a default workspace displays data that is collected by that data source in a simple table view. If a data source is placed inside a navigator group, a separate navigator item is no longer displayed under the agent. Workspaces that are created for the navigator group might display views that are constructed from all data sources that are contained in the navigator group. See (Navigator groups), and (Create a navigator group).
A subnode is a portion of an agent that can be replicated as necessary, depending on the application or enterprise that is being monitored. See (Subnodes), and (Use of subnodes).
- Navigator groups
Use Navigator groups to group several related data sources together so that workspaces can be created that show views of the related data sources
- Subnodes
Use subnodes to monitor multiple applications from a single agent instance.
- Move existing data sources
Move an existing attribute group to a newly created navigator group or subnode.
