Enabling support for TADDM events
IBM Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) is a configuration management tool that discovers both hardware and software systems in an IT environment. TADDM is a subsystem of the IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database product.
You can configure TADDM to generate notification events when it discovers a change to a configuration item in your IT environment, and to forward the events to the Probe for Tivoli EIF. The probe can then forward the events to the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, for monitoring in the Active Event List or the desktop event list. Launch-in-context menu tools are provided to enable you to navigate from the event list or Active Event List back into the TADDM GUI in order to retrieve further information about the changes that were discovered.
- When your IT application infrastructure changes, you want to receive alerts to keep you informed about configuration changes in your IT application infrastructure. Such alerts are generated following a TADDM discovery and identify changes that have occurred in the interim period since the previous discovery.
- From Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, you want to retrieve the details about the IT application infrastructure that is related to a specific configuration change so that you can know what was modified.
- From Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, you want to retrieve the change history of an IT application infrastructure item that is related to a configuration change alert so that you can analyze the stability of your IT application infrastructure.
