IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Initiating Centralized Configuration with agent environment variables
You can use the agent environment variables for Centralized Configuration to identify the location of the central configuration server and download the initial (bootstrap) configuration load list. These environment variables are used only if no local configuration load list exists.
After the initial configuration load list file is established, the monitoring agent uses that file and no longer attempts to use the environment variables. Deleting the local configuration load list (on the system monitor agent you also must run a silent installation) causes the agent to again use the environment variables to download the bootstrap configuration load list. (See Bootstrap configuration load list.)
- Initiating with enterprise monitoring agent environment variables
Use the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent's Centralized Configuration environment variables to point to the central configuration server and download the initial configuration load list.
- Set Centralized Configuration environment variables during system monitor agent installation
You can use a system monitor agent's Centralized Configuration environment variables in the silent response file to point to the central configuration server and download the initial (bootstrap) configuration load list.
