IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Weekly health checks
Use the following list to perform weekly health checks.
Tasks
- Include all of the items in the daily health check.
- Check system backups. Have a mechanism in place for backing up your core Tivoli Monitoring components in the event of recovery. The portal server, monitoring server, and warehouse must be backed up on a regular interval. That interval must be decided by you, but make it no less than a weekly backup. Daily backups of the portal server and monitoring server databases are highly recommended because of their constant change.
- Check warehouse data. Make sure you are collecting the last week’s worth of data and it is correct. You can accomplish this using the portal client to run the weekly summarization reports. The summarized data returned must accurately reflect the past week’s worth of summarized data.
