IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Situation event integration with Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
Use the Tivoli Event Integration Facility (EIF) interface to forward enterprise situation events to OMNIbus. The events are received by the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF, which maps them to OMNIbus events and then inserts them into the OMNIbus server.
Updates to those events are also sent to OMNIbus. When an OMNIbus user acknowledges, closes, or reopens a forwarded event, OMNIbus sends those changes to back to the monitoring server that forwarded them.
Situation events from Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents that are sent as SNMP alerts to the Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Probe can also be used to integrate with Netcool/OMNIbus.
See "Setting up event forwarding to Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide for instructions to enable situation event forwarding: configuring the OMNIbus server for program execution from scripts, updating the OMNIbus db schema, configuring the EIF probe, enabling situation forwarding on the hub monitoring server, and defining a default event integration facility (EIF) destination.
