Importing logical view for the external Cloud Pak System Software Agent

If you want the monitoring data to be organized by deployments, import the logical view for the external Cloud Pak System Software Agent.

Before you begin

Ensure that the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server that the external Cloud Pak System Software Agent connects to are running properly.

About this task

If you want the monitoring data to be organized by deployments, import the logical view for the external Cloud Pak System Software Agent.

Procedure

  1. Insert the Monitoring Agent for IBM® Cloud Pak System Software CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer where the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed. For Linux systems, mount the CD if necessary.
  2. Create a temporary directory on the computer.
  3. Copy the files in the LogicalView directory in the Monitoring Agent for IBM Cloud Pak System Software CD to the temporary directory that you created in the previous step.
  4. Go to the temporary directory and run one of the following commands, depending on the operating system of the computer:
    • Windows systems: importLogicalView.bat ITM_HOME SYSADMIN_PASSWORD logicalIPAS.xml
    • Linux systems: ./importLogicalView.sh ITM_HOME SYSADMIN_PASSWORD logicalIPAS.xml
    where ITM_HOME is the installation directory of IBM Tivoli Monitoring and SYSADMIN_PASSWORD is the password for the SYSADMIN user identifier.
    Messages are displayed to indicate the status of the task. When the logical view is imported successfully, the following messages are displayed:
    • KUICIN022I The workspaces for the custom navigator view were successfully imported.
    • KUICIN020I The custom navigator view Cloud Pak System Software was successfully imported from the .xml file to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.

Results

If Tivoli Enterprise Portal is already opened, close it first and then reopen it. When you log on to Tivoli Enterprise Portal, you will find that a custom navigator view called Cloud Pak System Software is added to the navigator view. When you open it, the monitoring data displayed in the navigator is organized by deployments and you can choose to view data for a specific deployment.
