The Tivoli Monitoring Agent DVD installation media has the Management Information Base (mib), and sample rules files that you add to the probe configuration.

- Enable OMNIbus heartbeat automation
For Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents that send situation events as SNMP alerts or EIF events to Netcool/OMNIbus, you can enable OMNIbus automation to have an event sent when the EE_HEARTBEAT is overdue. EE_HEARTBEAT life cycle status events are sent to the receiver at regular intervals to confirm that the monitoring agent is running and alerts can reach their destination.
