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.

      Click Start → Programs →IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services
      Where ITM_dir is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory, change to the ITM_dir/bin directory and run ./itmcmd manage [-h ITM_dir]. Right-click the monitoring agent and click Advanced → Edit ENV File.

    • At the command line, change to the agent configuration directory and open the environment file in a text editor. Where pc is the two-character product code:
      install_dir\TMAITM6[_x64]\kpcenv
      install_dir/config/pc.ini

  2. Specify how to connect to a central configuration server and download the initial (bootstrap) configuration load list:
