IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Private situations
Define private situations for monitoring criteria and the resulting events that are pertinent to your local agent environment or to an event receiver and not relevant to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring environment. Private situations can be defined for Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents and Tivoli System Monitor Agents.

Private situations are created in an XML formatted file that does not interact with the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. To use private situations effectively, you need to understand how they are different from enterprise situations.

Use the elements from the private situation XML specification to create private situations for an agent on your computer.
