IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Avoid distributing unused situations
To reduce Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server memory usage and minimize the amount of CPU processing when many agents connect, consider reducing the total number of situations distributed by avoiding distribution of situations that are not being used.
Some situations, including predefined situations, have the default distribution set as a managed system group. These situations are distributed to all managed Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers in the managed system group, even if the situation is not being used. Limiting the distribution to only the managed Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server where the situation is used minimizes the total number of situations distributed from the remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, and minimizes the CPU processing when many agents connect. The distribution specification for a situation can be changed using the Situation Editor or the tacmd editsit command.
