The Event Integration
Facility is a toolkit that expands the types of events and system
information that you can monitor. You can use it to develop your own adapters,
which are tailored to your network environment. The Event Integration
Facility is a separate installation package from the main Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus product. It does not require an instance of the Deployment
Engine to run.
The Event Integration
Facility contains an event application programming interface (API)
library for use with the Java™ and C programming languages. It also contains a debugging function
that checks event syntax and sends events to a file.
You can use
Event Integration
Facility to do the following tasks:
- Specify the event information to send to the ObjectServer for
processing.
- Create an adapter to filter, translate, and then forward event
information to the event server.
- Filter and correlate events near the source.
- Create an application that can receive events.
