Predefined situations

Tivoli® Monitoring products have situations that are ready to use as soon as you start the portal client. Also provided are situations that can be applied to any managed system and situations for the monitoring server.

Some predefined situations are already distributed and set to start automatically when the monitoring server is started. And some of those situations might not be associated with a Navigator item, which means an event is opened when the situation becomes true and an entry is written in the message log, but no event indicator appears in the Navigator. Other predefined situations might not be distributed or might not be set to run at startup.

When setting up event monitoring, review the predefined situations and determine which ones you would like to have run automatically and whether any threshold values need to be changed. If the situation is not associated with a Navigator item and you want an event indicator to display there when an event is opened, set the alert state and, optionally, the sound to play.
