The gateway feature can be activated within any IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring process. However, use must be limited to the host computer operating system agent to prevent potential resource consumption conflicts with Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server processes.
The configuration variable KDE_GATEWAY is set
to the XML configuration file name. A line of the form KDE_GATEWAY=filename must
be added to the following configuration files, depending on your environment:
configuration variables for the Windows operating system agent are located
in the ITMinstall_dir\tmaitm6\KNTENV file.
configuration variables for the UNIX operating
system agent are located in the ITMinstall_dire/config/ux.ini and ITMinstall_dir/config/ux.config files.
Add the entry to both files for reliable results.
configuration variables for the Linux operating system agent are located in
the ITMinstall_dir/config/lz.ini and ITMinstall_dir/config/lz.config files.
Add the entry to both files for reliable results.
