IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Use your historical data for analytic usage
You can use external applications, such as an analytic engine, to be alerted about and help predict potential problems quickly.
Analytic engines need data to be available with low latency and high frequency. You must configure your Warehouse Proxy agent and Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent to emit comma-separated (CSV) files that can be processed by an analytic engine.
- Warehouse Proxy agent for analytics
You can enable the Warehouse Proxy agent to write incoming historical data to the Tivoli Data Warehouse and to a comma-separated (CSV) file. Best practice is to only write data to a CSV file if the data will be consumed by an external application, such as an analytic engine.
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent for analytics
You can flag your monitoring agent historical data so that is can be consumed by an external application, such as an analytic engine.
- Examples of historical data collection for analytics
Examples of historical data collection to CSV files and to the Tivoli Data Warehouse are provided for your reference.
