IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Deploy monitoring agents across your environment
IBM Tivoli Monitoring provides the ability to deploy monitoring agents from a central location, the monitoring server.Just as there are two types of monitoring agents, there are two types of agent deployment:
- OS agent deployment from the installation image or using the tacmd createNode command
- Non-OS agent (such as the DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows agent) deployment using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal GUI (for other non-OS agents) or the tacmd addSystem command
You can also use the remote agent deployment function to configure deployed agents and install maintenance on your agents. For information, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for commands that you can use to perform these tasks.
Run the tacmd login command before executing commands from the tacmd library. This requirement does not apply to the addBundles command. Run the tacmd logoff command after you finish using the tacmd command library."
