IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
SNMP alerts
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents and Tivoli System Monitor Agents can be configured to send alerts to an SNMP receiver like Netcool/OMNIbus, using the Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Probe, or Tivoli NetView. Sample OMNIbus rules files are provided to illustrate some key integration ideas.
- SNMP alert configuration
Configure a monitoring agent and an SNMP trap configuration file to emit life cycle events or situation events to an SNMP event receiver.
- Trap configuration XML specification
Use the SNMP, TrapDest, TrapAttrGroup, Situation, and StatTrap elements in SNMP XML files to configure traps for any agent type that you want to specify for the event receiver.
- MIB for SNMP alerts and agent emits
Tivoli monitoring agents emit three types of SNMP messages: agentStatusEvent to convey agent operational status, agentSitSampledEvent for situations that sample at intervals and become true, and agentSitPureEvent for situations that receive unsolicited notifications.
- OMNIbus configuration for SNMP
You must configure the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus environment for it to receive the SNMP alerts of situation events from Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents and Tivoli System Monitor Agents. The Tivoli Monitoring Agent DVD installation media has the Management Information Base (mib), and sample rules files that you add to the probe configuration.
