IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
System administrator tasks
A system administrator has the highest level of authority and can access all IBM Tivoli Monitoring features in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
This list represents the types of tasks a system administrator might perform:
- Establish Tivoli Enterprise Portal user IDs and user groups with the appropriate permissions for their jobs.
- Design workspaces for Navigator items and makes these workspaces available to users based on their established permissions.
- Define queries that can be applied to table and chart views to specify the attributes and attribute value ranges to retrieve from the monitoring server.
- Write definitions for launching applications and makes them available to users based on their established permissions.
- Create command line actions that can run at the specified managed system from the portal client, and makes them available to users who have been granted authority.
- Create situations using the visual programming facilities
- Set the severity of a situation for a particular Navigator item and what, if any, sound plays when the situation is true and an event opens
- Decide which situations apply to which managed systems, a process called distribution
- Provide expert advice to display when certain situations evaluate true
- Create policy workflows, which are actions to take when situations evaluate true
- Create, install, upgrade, distribute and configure agents on remote hosts from a central location
- Start, stop, and recycle agent processes
