IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Netcool/OMNIbus integration
If you are already using Netcool/OMNIbus to monitor events from other sources in the enterprise, you can also view and manage situation events from a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server in the Netcool/OMNIbus console. Event integration requires Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2.1 or later and IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF version 10 or later.
Situation events are sent to Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF using the Tivoli Event Integration Facility (EIF) interface. The Netcool/OMNIbus EIF Probe receives events, maps them to the Netcool/OMNIbus events format, and then inserts into Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. When an Netcool/OMNIbus user acknowledges, closes, or reopens a situation event, Netcool/OMNIbus sends those changes to the originating monitoring server through the event synchronization component.
For information on forwarding events to Netcool/OMNIbus and installing the event synchronization component, see Set up event forwarding to Netcool/OMNIbus.
By default, the EIF Probe listens on the default port (9998).
