IBM Tivoli Monitoring web services scenarios
Here are a few examples of how you might use IBM Tivoli Monitoring web services. You can use these examples as suggestions for creating your own applications.
These scenarios do not describe the actual code that was used to develop them. To produce the charts and tables shown in these examples, you must develop your own scripts.
- Generate daily logical operation summaries and charts
You can retrieve data from multiple agents, using the SOAP server against a live hub, to generate daily logical operation summaries. You can use the CT_EMail SOAP method to e-mail these summaries to management.
- Obtaining data snapshots and offline table and charts
Using SOAP method CT_Get against a live hub, you can obtain a data snapshot from multiple agents to produce charts and reports. You can also create an AF REXX script that requests a snapshot of its data.
- Sending alerts into an IBM Tivoli Monitoring platform
Using SOAP method CT_Alert, you can send a new alert into an IBM Tivoli Monitoring platform.
- Create collaborative automation using SA IO
You can create a System Automation for Integrated Operations Management REXX application that calls JSCRIPT SOAP functions to forward any SA IO trapped message and display it on a Universal Message console. You can use SA IO scripts to trap and send any log messages, console messages, and so on, to IBM Tivoli Monitoring using SOAP methods.
- Acknowledging an event within an IBM Tivoli Monitoring platform
You can acknowledge an event within the IBM Tivoli Monitoring platform.
- Report contents
You can design a report to contain both a table and a chart view. You might want to add a Table/Chart button that allows you to toggle between the chart and the table view.
