After you install the Sybase agent (product code "koy"
or "oy") as directed in the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide, you have an environment that contains the client, server,
and monitoring agent implementation for IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring. That environments contains
the following components:
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal client with a Java™-based user interface for viewing and monitoring
your enterprise.
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server that is placed between the client and the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and
enables retrieval, manipulation, and analysis of data from the monitoring
agents.
- Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
which acts as a collection and control point for alerts received from
the monitoring agents, and collects their performance and availability
data.
- Monitoring agent, Sybase agent, which collects and
distributes data to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
- Operating system agents and application agents installed on the
systems or subsystems you want to monitor. These agents collect and
distribute data to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
- Tivoli Data Warehouse for storing historical
data collected from agents in your environment. The data warehouse
is located on a DB2®, Oracle,
or Microsoft SQL database.
To collect information to store in this database, you must install
the Warehouse Proxy agent. To perform aggregation and pruning functions
on the data, install the Warehouse Summarization and Pruning agent.
- Tivoli Enterprise Console event synchronization
component for synchronizing the status of situation events that are
forwarded to the event server. When the status of an event is updated
because of IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console® rules or operator actions, the update is sent to the
monitoring server, and the updated status is reflected in both the
Situation Event Console and the Tivoli Enterprise Console event viewer. For more
information, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide.
