Prerequisites

This solution requires the following applications:

  • IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer to be created and running prior to installing the probe. To create and run the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer, see the following topic in IBM Documentation: Creating and running ObjectServers.
  • Netcool Knowledge Library (NcKL) Intra-Device correlation automation is installed and enabled. This automation creates the following objects in the ObjectServer to aid in determining the causal releavence of events:
    • Intra-device correlation (AdvCorr) tables within the alerts database.
    • Supplementary automations implemented as an AdvCorr trigger group and three related triggers.
    • Additional columns in the alerts.status table.
  • Kubernetes 1.11.1.
  • Tiller 2.9.1
Note: Operator role is a minimum requirement to install this chart.
The chart must be installed by a Administrator to perform the following tasks:
  • Enable Pod Disruption Budget policy when installing the chart.
  • Retrieve sensitive information from a secret such as SNMP v3 Users data.
The chart must be installed by a Cluster Administrator to perform the following tasks in addition to those listed above:
  • Obtain the Node IP using kubectl get nodes command if using the NodePort service type.
  • Create a new namespace with custom PodSecurityPolicy if necessary. For details see PodSecurityPolicy requirements.
