IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
To verify unidirectional event flow:
Complete the steps in this section to verify unidirectional event flow.
- Start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
- Ensure you have a situation that has been configured to forward EIF events, and that the situation condition can be created.
- After you have created a situation condition, use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to verify that one or more situation events are open. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Physical Navigator displays an event severity indicator at the top level of the Navigator and on all affected nested nodes in the view. As a result, events generated by a situation are always visible. You can also see the complete list of open situation events in the Situation Event Console workspace.
- Start the Netcool/OMNIbus Event List UI. For example, on the OMNIbus server machine, run to start the Netcool/OMNIbus Native Event List: $OMNIHOME/bin/nco_event where $OMNIHOME is the directory location of the Netcool/OMNIbus installation.
- Refresh the event view in the Netcool/OMNIbus Event List UI and check for situation events from IBM Tivoli Monitoring. You should see the same set of events that are in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Situation Event Console.
