IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Configure the hub monitoring server to forward events

Before the hub monitoring server forwards any situation events to Netcool/OMNIbus, you must enable event forwarding and define a default event destination.

The tasks in this section should be completed by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator.

Take the following steps to enable event forwarding for each hub monitoring server from which you want to forward events to an OMNIbus ObjectServer. If the Hot Standby feature is configured, you should perform these steps for both the primary and secondary hub monitoring servers:

monitoring servers only, perform the following steps:

  1. Open Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services.

  2. Right-click the monitoring server and click Reconfigure.

  3. On the configuration options window, select Tivoli Event Integration Facility.

  4. Click OK and OK.

  5. Complete the following fields on the Event Server: Location and Port Number window and click OK:

    Server or EIF Probe Location

    Type the host name or IP address for the computer where the EIF probe is installed.

    Port Number

    Type the port number on which the probe is listening. Check with the Netcool/OMNIbus administrator that installed the EIF probe to determine what port number the EIF probe is using, or see the Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on how to determine the EIF probe port number. If the default probe port number was used, the number depends on the version of the probe and how the probe was installed. If you are using Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF Version 8 or later, the default port number is 9998. If Tivoli Business Service Manager V4.2.1 was used to install the probe, the default probe port number is 5530.

monitoring servers: You configured the EIF probe and port information for the Linux/UNIX monitoring server during installation, if you installed the monitoring server using the configuration instructions in this installation guide. However, if you did not configure this information, see Configure the hub monitoring server for the procedure.

You can use the tacmd createEventDest command to configure additional event destinations if the hub monitoring server should forward events to more than one Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for EIF. For more details on this command, see the Command Reference. For details on how to specify which event destinations to use for each situation, see Specify which situations forward events to Netcool/OMNIbus.
