IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Tivoli Monitoring Startup Center
The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Startup Center is a graphical user interface tool that guides you through the setup of a new IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment that includes the following components.
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client
- Operating system agent
- Warehouse Proxy Agent
- Remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (optional component)
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client (optional component)
The Startup Center cannot be used to deploy and configure the following monitoring components:
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Automation Server and its Performance Monitoring service provider
- A dashboard environment that includes Dashboard Application Services Hub, monitoring dashboard applications such as IBM Infrastructure Management Dashboards for Servers, Authorization Policy Server, and the tivcmd CLI for Authorization Policy.
The Startup Center is not intended for upgrading existing IBM Tivoli Monitoring components. You use topology diagrams to configure and deploy an initial base IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment, which can be expanded later. The Startup Center reduces complexity, increases transparency, and simplifies the IBM Tivoli Monitoring deployment.
The Startup Center can run on both Windows and Linux Intel x86-32 systems. On Linux systems you must have installed the GTK (GNU Image Manipulation Program Toolkit) support packages to run the tool. GTK toolkit is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring product image location that is used in the deployment must be accessible.
In the event of a failed installation, the Startup Center log files can help to diagnose the problem. The log files can be found in the following locations:
- %USERPROFILE%\.STARTUP\logs\
- ${HOME}/.STARTUP/logs
