IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Control event forwarding rate
The om_tec.config file controls the forwarding of events from IBM Tivoli Monitoring to IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.
This file contains the following parameter:
If your environment can have many open situation events, you might want to adjust this parameter to control the rate at which events are sent to the probe. To edit this file and change this parameter:
- BufferFlushRate=events_per_minute
- Specifies the number of events that are sent per minute when the adapter has reestablished its connection to the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF. Once the adapter has recovered the lost connection, if there are events in the buffer, the events are sent at this rate per minute. The default value is 0, meaning all events are sent in one burst.
- Open Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services.
- Right-click Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, and click Advanced → Edit EIF Configuration.
- Edit file install_dir/tables/hostname/TECLIB/ om_tec.config, where install_dir is the Tivoli Monitoring installation directory and hostname is the name of the host running this monitoring server.
Restart the hub monitoring server after completing these steps:
- Start the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility (Start → (All) Programs → IBM Tivoli Monitoring → Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services).
- Right-click the hub monitoring server and select Recycle from the popup menu.
- Enter the following commands:
$ITM_INSTALL_PATH/bin/itmcmd stop tems_server $ITM_INSTALL_PATH/bin/itmcmd start tems_serverwhere:
- $ITM_INSTALL_PATH
- Is the system variable defining the installation location of the monitoring server.
- tems_server
- Is the host name of the computer where the monitoring server is installed (the host where you are executing this command).
