IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
TEC Connector tab
Click the TEC Connector tab to view or change the information for an IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console connector. To have the events from a Tivoli Enterprise Console server displayed in the common event console, you must configure an IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console connector.
To configure a connector, click New. The resulting TEC Connector page contains the following information that defines an IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console connector:
- Connector name
- The name that is to be displayed in the common event console for this connector.
- Maximum number of events for this connector
- The maximum number of events that are to be available in the common event console for this connector.
- Computer name of event system
- The computer name of the event system that is associated with this connector.
- Port number of event system
- The object dispatcher (oserv) port number, typically 94. This is the port that the connector uses to retrieve events from the Tivoli Enterprise Console event system.
This is not the port used to connect to the Tivoli Enterprise Console event server (5529 by default).
- User name for accessing event system
- The user name that is used when accessing the event system that is associated with this connector.
- Password
- The password that is associated with the user name.
- Event group that defines events for common event console
- The Tivoli Enterprise Console event group that defines which events are available in the common event console.
If you do not specify an event group, all Tivoli Enterprise Console events are available in the common event console.
To restrict events further, you can also define a clause in the SQL WHERE clause that restricts events for common event console field.
- SQL WHERE clause that restricts events for common event console
- This clause can be applied only to the part of an event that is built from the Tivoli Enterprise Console base attribute table. For example, status <> 30 causes all events with a status that is not equal to 30 to be available in the common event console.
If you do not define a clause, all Tivoli Enterprise Console events are available in the common event console, unless they are excluded by an event group that you specified in the Event group that defines events for common event console field.
- View closed events
- You can choose Yes or No. A value of Yes means that closed events for this connector are available in the common event console.
- Time interval (in minutes) for polling event system
- The number of minutes between each poll of the event system for new or changed events.
- Time interval (in minutes) for synchronizing events
- The number of minutes between each poll of the event system to determine which events have been deleted.
- Time interval (in seconds) between reconnection attempts
- The number of seconds of delay between reconnection attempts when the connector loses its connection to the event system.
- Number of reconnection attempts
- The maximum number of consecutive reconnection attempts to make if the connector loses its connection to the event system.
If this value is set to -1 and the connector loses its connection, the connector attempts to reconnect indefinitely.
- Information for extra table columns
- The common event console includes five extra table columns that you can customize. In the remaining fields on this TEC Connector page, you can define the Tivoli Enterprise Console attribute type and attribute name that identify the attribute that is to be mapped to each of these customizable columns.
For the attribute type, you can choose one of the following values:
- Base, which means that the attribute is from the Tivoli Enterprise Console base attribute table.
- Extended, which means that the attribute is from the Tivoli Enterprise Console extended attribute table.
