Best practices for using event synchronization
In your environment, if Tivoli Monitoring events are forwarded to the Tivoli Enterprise Console or Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event system for the purpose of event synchronization, configure the common event connectors to retrieve only one copy of the same event to avoid having duplicate event information in the common event console.
Follow these best practices to restrict the common event console to include only the Tivoli Enterprise Console or Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus events that do not originate as Tivoli Monitoring events:
The resulting configuration causes the common event console to retrieve Tivoli Monitoring events directly from the Tivoli Monitoring event system rather than the Tivoli Enterprise Console or Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event system, which prevents you from having duplicate event information in the common event console.
- When Tivoli Monitoring events are forwarded to Tivoli Enterprise Console event system
- On the Tivoli Enterprise Console server, create an event group that defines only the Tivoli Enterprise Console events that do not originate as Tivoli Monitoring events and is named, for example, All_but_ITM.
- When you configure a TEC Connector, type All_but_ITM in the Event group that defines events for common event console field.
- When you configure the ITM Connector, click Yes in the Enable this connector field.
- When Tivoli Monitoring events are forwarded to Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event system
- When you configure an OMNIbus Connector, type ITMStatus = '' in the SQL WHERE clause that restricts events for common event console field, where '' is two single quotation marks with no space between them. This clause restricts the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus events in the common event console to only those that do not originate as Tivoli Monitoring events.
- When you configure the ITM Connector, click Yes in the Enable this connector field.
