Simnet
The Simnet Probe allows for the automatic generation of incidents to simulate network events. The Simnet Probe is used extensively to test new automations and tools, and to generate events for demonstrations and within the training environment. The probe automatically generates events from a provided definition file. The probe runs on all Netcool/OMNIbus supported platforms. The Simnet Probe does not use either a device or an element manager.
Note: If you
are running Netcool/OMNIbus V7.4.0 or
V8.1, the Simnet Probe is bundled with the Netcool/OMNIbus package.
If you are running Netcool/OMNIbus V7.3.0 or V7.3.1, the Simnet Probe
must be downloaded from the Passport Advantage website.
For details about how to download the most recent version of the probe, see the following Release Notice on the IBM Software Support website:
