Remote installation and configuration

You can install the monitoring agent remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line.

When installing the agent remotely, you must provide the configuration values for the agent to operate. See Configure from the configuration panel.

See the tacmd describeSystemType section in the Command Reference for information about the configuration options that are available to use with the configureSystem or addSystem commands.

You must add the agent to the remote deploy depot using the tacmd addBundles command before the addsystem command can be issued. For example:

You must also run the tacmd addBundles command in order to remotely configure the agent from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command-line interface, and to remotely start and stop agent instances.

To install the agent from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.

If you are using the command-line interface, the following are examples of remote installation and configuration commands:


Single configuration example

Windows operating systems with a single configuration. This example is a configuration that sends events to a Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus server through the Probe for Tivoli EIF.


Multiple configuration example

UNIX operating systems that use autodiscovery of multiple configuration files in the directory /opt/IBM/ITM/config/lo to create subnodes. This example is a configuration that sends events to Tivoli Monitoring, and is limited to 25% processor utilization.
