IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Installation and configuration for agents sending events to the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF
If you are installing IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus event integration for the first time, perform the tasks in this table.
However, if you are upgrading an existing event integration environment, see Upgrade from a previous installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus integration.
If agents and a hub monitoring server are sending events to the same Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer and probe, you must only perform tasks 1 to 7 once.
Installation and configuration for agents sending events to the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF
Task Architecture type Administrator 1. Install Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer if it is not already installed or upgrade it to the fix pack version required by IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
See the Netcool/OMNIbus Information Center for detailed instructions on this task: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.tivoli.namomnibus.doc/welcome_ob.htm. See also Required software for event integration with Netcool/OMNIbus.
Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 2. Install the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF if it is not already installed or upgrade it to the release required by IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
See the Netcool/OMNIbus Information Center for detailed instructions on this task: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com.ibm.tivoli.namomnibus.doc/welcome_ob.htm. See also Required software for event integration with Netcool/OMNIbus.
Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 3. Install the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Event Synchronization Component. Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 4. Update the OMNIbus database schema on single-tier or aggregation tier ObjectServers. Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 5. Change the default deduplication trigger. Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 6. Enable heartbeat automation in OMNIbus. For instructions on enabling OMNIbus heartbeat automation, see the Agent Autonomy chapter in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide. Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 7. Configure the Netcool/OMNIbus EIF probe. If an SSL connection will be used between the probe and a monitoring agent, ensure that you have version 12.0 or later of the probe.
Unidirectional Netcool/OMNIbus 8. For each IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent: configure the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent to forward events to the EIF Probe. See the Agent autonomy chapter in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide for information on configuring agents to send EIF events to OMNIbus using either SSL or non-SSL connections. Unidirectional IBM Tivoli Monitoring 9. Verify installation and configuration. Unidirectional IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus
