IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Initiating Centralized Configuration with a service interface request
You can submit service interface requests interactively in a browser or use kshsoap to submit service interface requests from a script. Use the service interface to initiate Centralized Configuration by submitting the configuration load list as a request.
- Initiating in the Agent Service Interface
Use the Agent Service Interface to initiate Centralized Configuration by submitting the configuration load list as a request.
- Initiating using the Service Interface API (kshsoap)
The Service Interface is an API that allows the creation of a custom interface. Sample HTML files are provided with the agents to demonstrate the function of the Service Interface. The API can also be accessed programmatically using Java, Visual Basic, Perl, HTML and other languages. The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server includes a command line utility called kshsoap that can be used within a script to submit these service interface requests. You can use kshsoap to initiate Centralized Configuration.
