Integration with TBSM

Network Manager is integrated with IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager by default using the Probe for Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus (nco_p_ncpmonitor).

Before you begin

You must have both IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition and IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager installed and configured.

Results

The probe provides IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager with BSM_Identity tokens for Network Manager.

The BSM_Identity token is used by default by TBSM to associate events with resources. Using the Network Manager DLA, TBSM becomes aware of the Network Manager resources.

Network Manager events will have the BSM_Identity field added based on the following setting in the $NCHOME/probes/arch/nco_p_ncpmonitor.rules file:

@BSM_Identity = "ITNMIP:" + $ExtraInfo_MONITOREDENTITYID + "&domain=" + $Domain
