Summary
Each probe works in a different way to acquire event data from its source, and therefore has specific features, default values, and changeable properties. Use this summary information to learn about this probe.
The following table summarizes the probe.
Probe target | Devices that generate Tivoli EIF version 3.9 messages. |
Probe executable file name | nco_p_tivoli_eif.jar nco_p_tivoli_eif.bat tivoli_eif.check.jar (enables the probe to run with the Configuration Analyser) |
Package version | 14.0 |
Probe supported on | For details of supported operating systems, see the following Release Notice on the IBM Software Support website: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21647306 |
Properties file | $OMNIHOME/probes/arch/nco_p_tivoli_eif.props Note: While
running the probe on Windows,
the directory file name specified in the path to the location of
the properties file gets truncated to eight characters.
|
Configuration files | $OMNIHOME/probes/arch/tivoli_eif.rules Note: The tivoli_eif.rules file contains commented
out references to tivoli_eif_tec.rules, tivoli_eif_tpc.rules and tivoli_eif_tsm.rules.
These rules are now supported in the Probe Extension Package. If the
probe receives events from IBM TEC LogFile agent, IBM TPC or IBM TSM,
you must uncomment these include statements reference. See Integrating the Probe for IBM Tivoli EIF with IBM Tivoli monitoring devices for details.
Note: Additional
rules are available to use with this probe in the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe
Extension Package. For more information about downloading and using
these additional rules, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe
Extension Package (SC27-5682-00).

Requirements |
A currently supported version of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus or IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps. Note: If you are running IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.4.0, you must have
Fix Pack 1 or later installed.
probe-nonnative-base-13
Note: probe-nonnative-base-13
does not require probe-sdk-java installation prior to nonnative installation.
For IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V7.4.0 and
higher the probe-sdk-java is compiled in the COI package to include
probe-nonnative-base-13 and therefore does not require installation of
probe-sdk-java.
Java™ 1.6 (this is supplied with Netcool/OMNIbus V7.4.0). If you are using Config Analyser you must install tools-config-analyser-1_2. |
Connection method | EIF Java API |
Remote connectivity | The probe can remotely connect to a Tivoli® device. |
Multicultural support |
Available |
Peer-to-peer failover functionality | Available |
IP environment | IPv4 and IPv6 |
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) |
IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus uses the FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic provider: IBM Crypto for C (ICC) certificate 384 for cryptography. This certificate is listed on the NIST website at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401val2004.htm. For details about configuring Netcool/OMNIbus for FIPS 140-2 mode, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Installation and Deployment Guide. |
