IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Self-describing agent installation
Product support files for IBM Tivoli Monitoring agent applications must be installed at each IBM Tivoli Monitoring server component. The self-describing agent feature combines the installation of an agent with the automatic dispersal and installation of the associated product support files throughout the IBM Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure.
The self-describing agent feature must be enabled on the following IBM Tivoli Monitoring components:
- Hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (enabled by default).
- Self-describing agent supported agents (enabled by default).
- Any Remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server the agent is connected to (enabled by default).
To control the capability across all components, enable the self-describing agent capability on the hub monitoring server.
