Dashboard Application Services Hub with Tivoli Common Reporting
Dashboard Application Services Hub is a Jazz for Service Management web-based systems management integration platform that can be used for reporting services.
The Tivoli Common Reporting component of Jazz for Service Management is installed with Dashboard Application Services Hub and provides the following capabilities:
- Common platform for running report packages provided by Tivoli products including IBM Tivoli Monitoring. Also extends the capability of cross-product report linkage for seamless flow between related reports of various Tivoli products.
- Simplified interfaces and interactions for report writers that enable them to create, customize, and publish reports quickly and easily.
Report packages for monitoring agents and custom monitoring reports use Tivoli Data Warehouse as the data source for monitoring data.
Tivoli Common Reporting, dashboard applications such as IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers, and the Authorization Policy Server can also be installed in a single Dashboard Application Services Hub for an environment with a small reporting and dashboard workload.
See Installing Jazz for Service Management for additional considerations on setting up your reporting environment.
