IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Synchronize situation events
The event synchronization component, the Event Integration Facility or EIF, sends updates to situation events that are forwarded to a Tivoli Enterprise Console event server back to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. The Situation Event Console, the Common Event Console, and the Tivoli Enterprise Console event views are synchronized with the updated status of the events. If you are monitoring event data from a supported event management system in the Tivoli Enterprise Console event view or the Common Event Console view, you can filter out forwarded events.
- Check the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console event cache
The event server rules event cache must be large enough to contain the volume of events expected at any given time.
- Change the configuration of the event synchronization on the event server
To change any of the settings for the event synchronization on the event server, use the sitconfig.sh command.
- Define additional monitoring servers for the event synchronization on the event server
For each monitoring server that is forwarding situation events to the event server, you must have the required server information defined so that the Situation Update Forwarder process forwards situation event updates to the originating monitoring server.
- Close sampled events
When a situation event from a sampled situation is forwarded to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console event server and that event is subsequently closed in the event server, the behavior of event synchronization is to send a request to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to acknowledge the situation with a specified timeout. The reason for this is because closing events from sampled situations causes problems with the situation's ability to fire after the close in IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
