By default, when the hub Tivoli® Enterprise
Monitoring Server has been configured for the Tivoli Event Integration Facility, events
for situations enabled for event forwarding are sent to the default
EIF receiver.
Before you begin
The tasks in this section can be completed by the IBM® Tivoli Monitoring Tivoli Enterprise Portal Operator.
About this task
See the Configuring the hub monitoring server to forward events section
for details on how to specify the default EIF receiver. If you want
to forward situation events to multiple Netcool/OMNIbus Probes for Tivoli EIF, you must use the tacmd
createEventDest command to create additional event destinations
and then use the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Situation Editor to specify which event destinations to use
for the situation’s events. For details on the tacmd createEventDest command,
see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference.
Also
by default, event forwarding is not enabled for a new situation unless
you base the new situation definition on an existing situation that
already has event forwarding enabled, or you explicitly enable event
forwarding for the situation. You can also use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Situation Editor
to ensure that Event Integration Facility forwarding is enabled for
each situation whose events should be forwarded to Netcool/OMNIbus.
Complete
these steps to specify the destination EIF receiver and severity for
a forwarded event:
Procedure
- In the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Navigator view, either right-click the Navigator item that
the situation is associated with and click Situations or
click Situation Editor in the main toolbar.
- Select the situation whose events should be forwarded to
Netcool/OMNIbus.
- Click the EIF tab.
- Select Forward Events to an EIF Receiver to
specify that an EIF event is sent for each event that opens for this
situation.
- Select the EIF Severity to apply
to forwarded events for this situation. <Default EIF Severity>
uses the same severity as is used for the situation at this Navigator
item.
- Assign any other EIF receivers:
- To add a destination, select it from the Available
EIF Receivers list and move to the Assigned list. (After
selecting the first destination, you can use Ctrl+click to select
other destinations or Shift+click to select all destinations between
the first selection and this one.)
- To remove a destination, select it from the Assigned
EIF Receivers list and move to the Available list. The Available
EIF Receivers list shows all of the defined EIF destinations
that were created with the tacmd createEventDest command.
- Save the situation definition with your changes by clicking Apply,
to keep the Situation editor open, or OK, to
close the Situation editor.
