IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Configure application support for nonbase monitoring agents

The term nonbase is used here to refer to other products such as IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Applications, OMEGAMON XE monitoring agents, and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager monitoring agents that provide their own support files.

Some monitoring agents that run on z/OS or z/VM are packaged with their own CD that contains the data files for adding application support to distributed components. Other monitoring agents that run on z/OS are packaged with a CD that contains data files for a number of agents. If in doubt, see the configuration guide for each of your monitoring agents to find the exact name of the CD to use.

The following table shows you which installation media to use and where to find instructions for installing application support, according to the type of agent (distributed or z/OS) and whether the agent reports to a distributed or z/OS monitoring server.

Use the instructions in the following sections to install application support for nonbase distributed or z/OS monitoring agents on the distributed monitoring servers, portal server, and portal desktop clients in your environment:

Each of these sections provides information for installing application support files to a single component, such as the monitoring server. If you have multiple components on the same computer (such as the monitoring server and the portal server), combine steps from the individual sections to install application support to all components.

When the application support for an agent is updated on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, the current agent DLA template file is renamed to use the .bak extension and the latest version of the template file is installed. If the agent DLA template file was edited to remove the IP address filtering for private network addresses, you must update the new version of the agent DLA template file to contain the edits that are in the .bak version of the template file. For more information on editing an agent DLA template to remove private network address filtering, see Using the Tivoli Management Services Discovery Library Adapter in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
