Request Parameters

The Request Parameters table is used to define a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) update request that identifies Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Server to the Tivoli® Application Dependency Discovery Manager (TADDM) server or that defines the updated resource information that Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Server sends to the TADDM server.

Monitoring agents that support TADDM integration will provide predefined policies containing TADDM activities that include predefined request parameters.

There are three fields: Key, Value Type, and Value. An update request must begin with a start array and end with an end array. An array can contain one or more objects. Each object is started with a start object and ended with an end object. Within an object every value type has a key.

• The Key contains a list of common predefined keys in a drop-down menu. Other valid key values can be entered, but they must be valid attributes supported by the associated Tivoli Common Data Model (CDM) classes. To access the CDM documentation see the TADDM Software Developer’s Kit (SDK).
• The Value Type is a fixed list of selectable values from a drop-down menu.
• The Value can be a predefined selected value or a user-defined value. The most common options are displayed in a drop-down menu.

  When providing a value in the Value column for a given Key, you might need to supply the associated Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Server sensor that is provided by TADDM. See the "Sensor reference" topics in the Tivoli Application Dependency Discovery Manager Knowledge Center.
