After you install the
Monitoring Agent for Linux
OS (product
code "klz" or "lz") as directed in the
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation
and Setup Guide,
you have an environment with a client, server, and
monitoring agent implementation
for
IBM Tivoli Monitoring that
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 for Linux
OS,
which collects and distributes data to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
This component also embeds the Agent Management Services function.
- 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 IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation
and Setup Guide.
