IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Customize the rules file
To customize the IBM Tivoli Monitoring probe rules, add your customizations to the itm_custom_override.rules file.
The itm_custom_override.rules file can be included by itm_event.rules by uncommenting the line with the include statement for it. You should not modify any of the OMNIbus attributes that are used by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring triggers to perform event synchronization.
To map agent specific slots to Netcool/OMNIbus attributes, see Generic mapping for agent-specific slots for information on slot naming and other considerations.
The itm_custom_overrides.rules file is copied into the following directory:
%OMNIHOME%\probes\arch (Windows)or
$OMNIHOME/probes/arch (UNIX)where:
After updating the rules file, restart the probe using the instructions in Configure the Netcool/OMNIbus EIF probe.
- OMNIHOME
- Is a system-defined variable defining the installation location of OMNIbus.
- arch
- Represents the operating system directory on which the probe is installed; for example, solaris2 when running on a Solaris system, and win32 for a Windows system.
