IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Update the EIF Probe Rules
The Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF should be updated with the latest versions of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring probe rules files. This task should be performed by the Netcool/OMNIbus administrator.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring requires the Netcool/OMNIbus Probe for Tivoli EIF version 10 or later. This release of the EIF probe provides a tivoli_eif.rules file that includes rules files for other products. You should use the probe's version of tivoli_eif.rules instead of the tivoli_eif.rules file that was provided by IBM Tivoli Monitoring releases prior to V6.2.3. The latest version of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring probe rules are in the itm_event.rules include file that is included by the probe's version of tivoli_eif.rules.
If you are using a tivoli_eif.rules file from a previous release of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and you customized the rules, determine what customizations were made to the tivoli_eif.rules file that you backed up before upgrading the EIF Probe. Then perform one of the following actions:
- Merge your customized rules for IBM Tivoli Monitoring events into the itm_event.rules provided with the latest version of IBM Tivoli Monitoring. Or:
- Determine if you can use the itm_event.rules as it is, and put the IBM Tivoli Monitoring event customization in the new itm_custom_override.rules file that is included by itm_event.rules to make upgrades easier in the future.
To update the EIF probe to use the latest IBM Tivoli Monitoring rules, see Configure the Netcool/OMNIbus EIF probe.
