Overview of the agent

The Tivoli Log File Agent (product code LO) provides you with the capability to monitor Application log files.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring is the base software for the Log File agent.

The Tivoli Log File Agent is an agent that provides a configurable log file monitoring capability that uses regular expressions. For compatibility, the agent can consume the configuration information and format strings previously used by the Tivoli Event Console Log File Adapter. These strings allow the agent to filter the log data according to patterns in the format file, and submit only the interesting data to an event consumer. The agent can send data both to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server or through the Event Integration Facility (EIF) to any EIF receiver, such as the OMNIbus EIF probe.
