Integrating TADDM with IBM Tivoli Monitoring via OSLC Automation

TADDM can be integrated with IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring by using OSLC Automation. If you want to integrate TADDM with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3, it is advised to use OSLC Automation. The old method of integration with the use of IBM Tivoli Monitoring Scope sensor is deprecated and will be removed from future releases.

TADDM uses the IBM Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure in the following two ways:
  • TADDM obtains the list of IBM Tivoli Monitoring endpoints from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server via OSLC Automation Session.
  • TADDM both runs CLI commands on the target systems for the sensors in Level 2 and Level 3 discovery and captures the output of those commands.
