Adding an event receiver

You specify one or two event receivers when you deploy an internal System Monitoring shared service. You can add an event receiver later when necessary.

Before you begin

The receiver of events is specified when you deploy an internal System Monitoring shared service. You can add an event receiver when necessary.
Important: Do not use the itmcmd or tacmd CLI commands to directly change the configuration of hub Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server in the shared service to add, remove, or modify event receivers. Doing this can negatively impact the ability of the Cloud Pak System Software Operations user interface to effectively add or remove event receivers.
Note: You cannot add an event receiver for an external System Monitoring shared service. To add another event receiver for an internal System Monitoring shared service, complete the following steps.
