IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Agent installation and configuration
Agent installation and configuration requires the use of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide and agent-specific installation and configuration information.
To install and configure the Warehouse Proxy agent, use the "Installing monitoring agents" procedures in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide along with the agent-specific installation and configuration information.
If you are installing silently by using a response file, see "Performing a silent installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.
With the self-describing agent capability, new or updated IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents using IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.2.3 or later can become operational after installation without having to perform additional product support installation steps. To take advantage of this capability, see "Enabling self-describing agent capability at the hub monitoring server" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide. Also, see "Self-describing monitoring agents" in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.
In addition to the installation and configuration information in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide, use this agent-specific installation and configuration information to install the Warehouse Proxy agent.
- Configuration values
For both local and remote configuration, you provide the configuration values for the agent to operate.
- Disable data warehouse log tables
With IBM Tivoli Monitoring v6.2.3, there is now the ability to disable the creation of the data warehouse log tables so that fewer database resources are needed. This is the now the default configuration for both the Warehouse Proxy Agent and the Summarization and Pruning Agents. If upgrading from an existing installation, you can truncate the existing tables in the database to allow their storage space to be reclaimed.
- Remote installation and configuration
You can install the monitoring agent remotely from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal or from the command line.
