IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Multiple hub Tivoli Enterprise monitoring servers and one Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer
In this scenario, multiple hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers are forwarding events to a single Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer.
As changes are made to those events in the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, the updates are forwarded back to the hub monitoring server that is associated with that situation. Event forwarding must be enabled on each monitoring server, and the EIF probe associated with the ObjectServer must be defined as the default EIF receiver for each hub monitoring server.
By default, event forwarding is not enabled for a new situation unless you base the new situation definition on an existing situation that already has event forwarding enabled or you explicitly enable event forwarding. When you enable event forwarding for a situation, the hub monitoring server sends the situation's events to the EIF probe that was specified when event forwarding was enabled for the hub monitoring server.

Uses
This scenario demonstrates how you can consolidate all the IBM Tivoli Monitoring events by forwarding them to the same Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer through the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF.
