SAE ITNM Service plug-in

The SAE ITNM Service plug-in allows you to extend the SAE functionality by creating events for your own service.

Configuring a custom service

The SAE ITNM Service plug-in can be configured to generate synthetic events when an event occurs on a device associated with a custom service. In order to perform this configuration you must perform the following tasks:

  1. Configure the Discovery engine, ncp_disco, to collect data for the custom service. Perform this configuration by writing a custom stitcher to define the custom service and ensure that this stitcher is called by the relevant standard Network Manager stitcher.
    Note: For help with writing custom stitchers, contact IBM® Support.
  2. Update NCIM cache to store data on the custom service in the itnmService NCIM database table.
  3. Update the config.serviceTypes SAE plug-in database table to store data on the new custom service.

For more information on ncp_disco and on the itnmService NCIM database table see the IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition Administration Guide.
