In this scenario, multiple hub Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Servers are forwarding
events to a single Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer.
As changes are made to those events in the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer,
the updates are forwarded back to the hub monitoring server that is
associated with that situation. Event forwarding must be enabled on
each monitoring server, and the EIF probe associated with the ObjectServer
must be defined as the default EIF receiver for each hub monitoring
server.
By default, event forwarding is not enabled for a new situation
unless you base the new situation definition on an existing situation
that already has event forwarding enabled or you explicitly enable
event forwarding. When you enable event forwarding for a situation,
the hub monitoring server sends the situation's events to the EIF
probe that was specified when event forwarding was enabled for the
hub monitoring server.

Uses
This scenario demonstrates how you can
consolidate all your IBM® Tivoli Monitoring events by forwarding
them to the same Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer through the Netcool/OMNIbus
Probe for Tivoli EIF.
