IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Enable the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Charting Web Service
If you have a product based on the Tivoli Integrated Portal V2.2 platform, you can use the charting feature to display charts with values queried from the Tivoli Monitoring environment. You must enable the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Charting Web Service (ITMWebService) in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The charting web service is also used with the Tivoli Business Service Manager policy-based data fetcher function.
The IBM Tivoli Monitoring dashboard data provider is used instead of the charting web service when you display monitoring data in IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub.
Single sign-on must be enabled for users of the Tivoli Integrated Portal console and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The users who display charts containing data from the charting web service must have a Tivoli Enterprise Portal user ID that is assigned the monitoring application whose data is displayed in the chart.
Complete these steps on the computer where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is installed and running to enable the Tivoli Monitoring Charting Web Service.
Procedure
- Copy the kfwtipewas.properties file to the portal server directory:
From install_dir\CNPS\SQLLIB\ to install_dir\CNPS.
From install_dir/platform/cq/sqllib/ to install_dir/platform/cq/.
- Reconfigure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
What to do next
As a Tivoli Enterprise Portal user you are entitled to see certain workspaces that belong to a particular monitored application based on your permissions. If you are entitled to see, say, Linux workspaces, then those workspace queries are available in the Tivoli Integrated Portal for charting.To use HTTPS to secure communication between the charting web service, see "Tivoli Business Service Manager and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server integration over SSL" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.
