IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Common Event Console Configuration window
Use the Common Event Console Configuration window to configure a common event console connector for each of your event system instances. Because the connector for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring product is pre-configured when you install the product, the common event console includes situation events by default. However, to have IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console or IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus events included in the common event console, you must configure a connector for each of these event systems after you install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring product. This configuration includes specifying which event systems are used to obtain events for display in the common event console. You might also want to change some of the configuration values for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring connector.
To configure connectors, open the Common Event Console Configuration window by performing the following steps on the computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed and complete the following procedure:
Procedure
- Select Start → Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services.
- In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
- In the menu, click Reconfigure.
- In the first configuration window, click OK.
- In the second configuration window, click OK.
- Click No in answer to the question "Do you want to reconfigure the warehouse connection information for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server?"
- or
- At the command line, change directory (cd) to install_dir/bin and enter ./itmcmd manage.
- In the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window, right-click Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
