IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Specify which situations forward events to Netcool/OMNIbus
By default, when the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server has been configured for the Tivoli Event Integration Facility, events for situations enabled for event forwarding are sent to the default EIF receiver.
The tasks in this section can be completed by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Tivoli Enterprise Portal Operator.
See the Configure the hub monitoring server to forward events section for details on how to specify the default EIF receiver. To forward situation events to multiple Netcool/OMNIbus Probes for Tivoli EIF, use the tacmd createEventDest command to create additional event destinations and then use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Situation Editor to specify which event destinations to use for the situation’s events. For details on the tacmd createEventDest command, see the Command Reference.
Also by default, event forwarding is not enabled for a new situation unless you base the new situation definition on an existing situation that already has event forwarding enabled, or you explicitly enable event forwarding for the situation. You can also use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Situation Editor to ensure that Event Integration Facility forwarding is enabled for each situation whose events should be forwarded to Netcool/OMNIbus.
Complete these steps to specify the destination EIF receiver and severity for a forwarded event:
- In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Navigator view, either right-click the Navigator item that the situation is associated with and click Situations or click Situation Editor in the main toolbar.
- Select the situation whose events should be forwarded to Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Click the EIF tab.
- Select Forward Events to an EIF Receiver to specify that an EIF event is sent for each event that opens for this situation.
- Select the EIF Severity to apply to forwarded events for this situation. <Default EIF Severity> uses the same severity as is used for the situation at this Navigator item.
- Assign any other EIF receivers:
- To add a destination, select it from the Available EIF Receivers list and move to the Assigned list. (After selecting the first destination, you can use Ctrl+click to select other destinations or Shift+click to select all destinations between the first selection and this one.)
- To remove a destination, select it from the Assigned EIF Receivers list and move to the Available list. The Available EIF Receivers list shows all of the defined EIF destinations that were created with the tacmd createEventDest command.
- Save the situation definition with your changes by clicking Apply, to keep the Situation editor open, or OK, to close the Situation editor.
