Create a new data source based on the custom data source type you created
earlier.
Before you begin
The
WebGUI
right-click tools and Event Search dashboards and charts are coded to use a data source named
omnibus
. The prerequisite for this task varies depending on whether you have ever
ingested data into the existing
omnibus
data source.
- If you have already ingested data into the existing
omnibus
data source
then you must delete the data. For information on how to do this, see Deleting data
in the Operations Analytics - Log
Analysis
documentation.
- If you have not yet ingested data into the existing
omnibus
data source then
simply delete this data source.
Procedure
- In Operations Analytics - Log
Analysis,
start the Add Data Source wizard and configure
an
omnibus
data source for Netcool®/OMNIbus events.
Only a single data source is required. The event management
tools in the WebGUI support
a single data source only.
- In the Select Location panel, select
Custom and type the Netcool/OMNIbus server
hostname.
Enter the same hostname that was used for the
JsonMsgHostname transport property of the Gateway for Message Bus.
- In the Select Data panel, enter
the following field values:
Field |
Value |
File path |
NCOMS. This is the default value of
the jsonMsgPath transport property of the Gateway for Message Bus.
If you changed this value from the default, change the value of the File
path field accordingly. |
Type |
This is the name of the data source type on which this data source is based.
- To use the default data source type, specify OMNIbus1100.
- To use a customized data source type, specify the name of the customized data source type; for
example: customOMNIbus
|
Collection |
OMNIbus1100-Collection |
- In the Set Attributes panel, enter
the following field values:
Field |
Value |
Name |
omnibus. Ensure that the value that
you type is the same as the value of the scala.datasource property
in the WebGUI server.init file.
If the Name field has a value other than omnibus,
use the same value for the scala.datasource property. |
Group |
Leave this field blank. |
Description |
Type a description of your choice. |
-
Configure access to the data source you set up in the previous step. This involves the
following steps in the administrative settings for Operations Analytics - Log
Analysis:
-
Create a role using the Roles tab, for example,
noirole
,
and ensure you assign the role permission to access the data source.
-
Add a user, for example,
noiuser
, and assign the role you created that has
permissions to access the data source (in this example, noirole
).
For information about creating and modifying users and roles in
Operations Analytics - Log
Analysis, see one of the
following links:
.
Note: The contents of the Netcool/OMNIbus Insight® Pack dashboards are empty unless you log in with a user that has a role assigned with permissions to access the data source.
