IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Event synchronization component
The event synchronization component, the Event Integration Facility or EIF, sends updates to situation events that have been forwarded to a Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer or a Tivoli Enterprise Console event server back to the monitoring server.
Figure 1 shows the flow of situation events from the hub monitoring server to the event server as EIF events and the flow of updates to the situation events back to the hub monitoring server. The Situation Event Console and the Common Event Console in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client, event views in monitoring dashboards on IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub, and the event server's event views are synchronized with the updated status of the events.
If you are monitoring event data from a supported event management system in the Tivoli Enterprise Console event view or the Common Event Console view, you can filter out forwarded events. See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
