IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Set up event forwarding to Netcool/OMNIbus
If you are already using Netcool/OMNIbus to monitor events from other sources in the enterprise, you can also view and manage situation events from a hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server or monitoring agent in the Netcool/OMNIbus Event List user interfaces.
Event integration requires Netcool/OMNIbus V7.2 or later and Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF version 10 or later. For all software prerequisites for event integration with Netcool/OMNIbus, see Required software for event integration with Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Architecture overview
Event integration between a hub monitoring server (monitoring server), and Netcool/OMNIbus (event server) can be unidirectional or bidirectional.
- Architecture scenarios
The scenarios in this section illustrate ways to forward situation events from one or more Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Servers to one or more Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServers.
- Installation and configuration
The products in this section must be installed and configured before you install the event synchronization component and configure event forwarding for Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Upgrade from a previous installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus integration
This section contains the tasks you must perform if you are upgrading from a previous installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus integration.
- Customize Event Integration
After verifying that event integration is working as expected, additional configuration tasks are available to customize the event integration between IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Understanding and Customizing the Event Contents
From the Situation editor EIF tab of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, you can create map definitions for situation events sent to the EIF Probe. The EIF Slot Customization window, which is opened from the EIF tab, is used to customize how situation events are mapped to forwarded EIF events, thus overriding the default mapping between situation event attributes and EIF attribute slots.
