This chapter introduces the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent provided
for ITM customers for HTTP Servers. The chapter explains how it can
help you monitor and administer your systems that deploy the HTTP
Servers.
ITCAM Agent for HTTP Servers places
this agent into the context of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM)
family, a suite of products used to monitor a mixed-systems environment.
With ITM, you can perform the following tasks:
- Establish your own performance thresholds
- Create situations, which are conditions you need to monitor
- Create and send commands to systems in your managed enterprise
by using the Take Action feature. With Take Action commands you can,
for instance, restart a process that is not functioning correctly
or dynamically reconfigure your environment
- Create comprehensive reports about system conditions
- Monitor for alerts on the systems and platforms you are managing
- Trace the causes leading up to an alert
- Define your own queries, with the attributes provided with the ITCAM Agent for HTTP Servers,
to monitor conditions of particular interest to you
Figure 1 displays a basic
overview of how the components for ITM and ITCAM for Web Resources
interact.
