IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Scenario 2: Hub and remote monitoring servers INSIDE and monitoring agents OUTSIDE
In Scenarios 2 and 3, all agents report to the remote monitoring server.
As part of the configuration of the hub monitoring server, specify the name of the partition that it is located in INSIDE. No partition file is needed because the only component that reports to it (the remote monitoring server) is also inside the firewall.
As part of the configuration of the remote monitoring server, specify the name of the partition that it is located in INSIDE. A partition file, partremote.txt, must also be created at the remote monitoring server. It contains the following entries:
OUTSIDE ip.pipe: remote's_external_address
When configuring the agents (all of which are outside the firewall, reporting to the remote monitoring server), specify the name of the partition that they are located in OUTSIDE. When the agents start, partremote.txt is searched for an entry that matches the partition name OUTSIDE and sees the remote monitoring server address that is valid for them (the external address).
