IBM PureApplication System Version 1.1.0.4 Interim Fix 1
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 4 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0004)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  The LG0 agent file is filling up with ASI login messages.  The
  customer needs a way to disable this message as the log is
  filling up the filesystem space.
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  Post a request to the url "http://<ip>:1920///<agent service
  endpoint>/<agent service endpoint>/html/default.htm" with the
  token "Authorization:Basic xxxxx" put in the head. On windows
  platform, put the encoded local account instead. An equivalent
  example using curl tool looks like
  
  curl -H "Authorization:Basic xxxxxx" --url
  "http://ip address:1920///xxxxx-6_lz//xxxxx-6_lz/html/default
  .htm" -d "<REPORT><TABLENAME>UNIXOS</TABLENAME></REPORT>"
  
  
  Read the agent service endpoint by reading the response of the
  simple request "http://<ip>:1920"
  

Local fix

• Manually monitor or write a situation to trim the LG0 file if it
  grows to a larger size.  Or move the location of the file to a
  larger file system using CTIRA_HIST_DIR
  

Problem summary

• Provide environment variable to disable ASI logon message.
  
  
  The LG0 agent file is filling up with ASI login messages.  The
  customer needs a way to disable this message as the log is
  filling up the filesystem space.
  
  The messages is:
  
  1140108024619670KRAI003I  Client user root successfully sign-on
  to Agent Service Interface
  
  Added environment variable that can be used in the agents config
  file to disable the KRAI003I message. In order for this APAR to
  be properly implemented in your environment, a new environment
  variable has been added. See the "Install Actions" section of
  the APAR conclusion for more details.
  

Problem conclusion

• Install Actions:
  
  The environment variable IRA_SERVICE_INTERFACE_LOGON_MSG=N is
  added to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent environment
  file, where {pc} is the two-character product code:
  
  Windows: Install_dir\TMAITM6\k{pc}cma.ini.  Reconfigure the
  agent to implement any changes.
  Linux/UNIX: Install_dir/config/{pc}.ini.  On system monitor
  agents, this file is {pc}.environment.  Recycle the agent to
  implement any changes.
