User interface options
Installation of the base IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring software and other integrated applications provides various interfaces that you can use to work with your resources and data.
The following interfaces are available.
- Tivoli Enterprise Portal user interface
- You can run the Tivoli Enterprise Portal as a desktop application or a browser application. The client interface is a graphical user interface (GUI) based on Java™ on a Windows or Linux® workstation. The browser application is automatically installed with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. The desktop application is installed by using the Tivoli Monitoring installation media or with a Java Web Start application. To start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client in your Internet browser, enter the URL for a specific Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client installed on your Web server.
- IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event list
- You can use the Netcool/OMNIbus event list to monitor and manage events. An event is created when the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer receives an event, alert, message, or data item. Each event is made up of columns (or fields) of information that are displayed in a row in the ObjectServer alerts.status table. The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus web GUI is also a web-based application that processes network events from one or more data sources and presents the event data in various graphical formats.
