IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Components of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment
After you install and set up the Warehouse Proxy agent, you have an environment that contains the client, server, and monitoring agent implementation for IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
This IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment contains the following components:
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal client
- The portal has a user interface based on Java for viewing and monitoring the enterprise.
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
- The portal server is placed between the client and the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and enables retrieval, manipulation, and analysis of data from the monitoring agents. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is the central repository for all user data.
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
- The monitoring server acts as a collection and control point for alerts received from the monitoring agents, and collects their performance and availability data. The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is also a repository for historical data.
- IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console
- The Tivoli Enterprise Console is an optional component that acts as a central collection point for events from a variety of sources, including events from other Tivoli software applications, Tivoli partner applications, custom applications, network management platforms, and relational database systems. You can view these events through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (using the event viewer), and you can forward events from IBM Tivoli Monitoring situations to the Tivoli Enterprise Console component.
- IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus
- Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus is an optional component and an alternative to the Tivoli Enterprise Console. The Netcool/OMNIbus software is a service level management (SLM) system that delivers real-time, centralized monitoring of complex networks and IT domains. The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus components work together to collect and manage network event information.
- Tivoli Common Reporting
- Tivoli Common Reporting is a separately installable feature available to users of Tivoli software that provides a consistent approach to generating and customizing reports. Some individual products provide reports that are designed for use with Tivoli Common Reporting and have a consistent look and feel.
