IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Scenario 1: Hub monitoring server INSIDE and monitoring agents OUTSIDE
The hub monitoring server is contained within the firewall in a partition named INSIDE. A partition file named parthub.txt is included in this partition and contains the following entry:
OUTSIDE ip.pipe: hub's_external_addressOUTSIDE is the partition name outside the firewall and hub's_external_address is the address of the hub monitoring server that is valid for the agents.
As part of the configuration of each agent, specify the name of the partition that each is located in OUTSIDE.
When an agent starts, parthub.txt is searched for an entry that matches the partition name OUTSIDE and sees the monitoring server address that is valid for the agents (the external address).
