IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
This function allows you to remotely configure the Summarization and Pruning Agent using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal. You can use this function anytime the Summarization and Pruning Agent configuration needs to be changed.
For remote management of monitoring agents in general, install the appropriate OS monitoring agent. For instance, to remotely manage a Summarization and Pruning Agent on Linux systems, install the Monitoring Agent for Linux OS on the same server. To remotely manage a Summarization and Pruning Agent on Windows systems, install the Monitoring Agent for Windows on the same server.
Also, to remotely configure the agent, the Summarization and Pruning Agent itself must be added to the remote depot. The CD image contains a deploy directory where the Summarization and Pruning Agent bundle is located. From this directory you can run the following command:
tacmd addBundles -i . -t sy
The Deployment Status Detail workspace should show a SUCCESSFUL Transaction for the Configure command against the Summarization and Pruning Agent. The configuration file (sy.ini or KSYENV) on the remote system where the Summarization and Pruning Agent is installed should contain the corresponding changes executed on the configuration panel. Afterwards, the Summarization and Pruning Agent operates as usual when configuration is successful. Connectivity of the Summarization and Pruning Agent can be checked on the Summarization and Pruning Status workspace.
To enable this function, complete the following steps:
- Open the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
- Select the Summarization and Pruning Agent that needs to be remotely configured.
- Right-click on the Summarization and Pruning Agent in the navigator tree.
- Choose Configure. The configure panel for the Summarization and Pruning Agent is displayed.
Results
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal log file can be found in the %CANDLEHOME%\cnp\logs directory for Windows systems, or the installer/CANDLEHOME/logs directory for UNIX systems. Remote deploy tracing can also be set: ERROR(UNIT: KDY ALL) on the OS agent, ERROR(UNIT: KDY ALL) on the monitoring server.
- The Test Connection button is not available when configuring through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
- The Summarization and Pruning Agent for the target platform being configured must have already been added to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server depot for the configuration to succeed.
- Browsing for JDBC JAR files is not supported since they are on a remote system. You must enter the comma separated, fully qualified list of JDBC JAR files. The same as you do in the CLI.
