New Ready for IBM Tivoli solution posted to OPAL -- ITM Agent for ITDS   

FYI

This week we (Blue Medora) released a new IBM Ready for Tivoli validated agent to the OPAL catalog. The solution is an IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) agent for IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS) -- IBM’s flagship Enterprise LDAP directory platform.

IBM Tivoli Directory Server can be found in nearly every environment where customers are running the IBM Tivoli security stack (ie, Tivoli Identity Manager, Tivoli Access Manager, etc) and the Blue Medora ITDS agent adds extensive ITDS monitoring and management capabilities to ITM.

Highlights of the Blue Medora Agent for IBM Tivoli Directory Server include:

ITDS Dashboard Status – A one-stop shop based on Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) that allows administrators to easily determine the overall health and status of ITDS ibmslapd server instances.
Availability Monitoring – Real-time detection of ITDS availability via:
* Process monitoring of key ibmslapd server processes. 
* LDAP query based availability monitoring measuring a ibmslapd server instance's ability to respond to LDAP queries.
* Configuration mode detection
Configuration Monitor – Key configuration information gathered from a monitored ITDS ibmslapd server instance.
Replication Monitor – Status and metrics of ibmslapd replication agreements.
Statistical Monitors – Collection and reporting of over one hundred attributes indicating the current status of the directory server in terms of connections, transactions, types of LDAP operations performed, and more.
Logs Monitor – Detection and reporting of critical errors found in the ITDS server logs.
Take-Actions – Seven ITM Take-Actions that allow administrators to manage their ITDS environments via remote stop/start/restart of ITDS ibmslapd server and administrator processes, as well as to execute “runstats” focused on tuning and optimizing ITDS back-end databases.
Situations – Forty ITM Situations that allow administrators to quickly and efficiently isolate impending or existing critical errors in their ITDS environment, along with expert advice based on industry best practices about how to remedy the problem.

More info on Key Features, Benefits, Pre-reqs & requirements, Screenshots, etc can be found on the ITDS agent product page: http://www.bluemedora.com/product/page/15

Once again we hope that this new agent satisfies some of the IBM Tivoli Directory Server monitoring requirements that might exist in your ITM.  If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me directly via email or phone.
