Setting up and activating an initial set of custom events
You must first create a datasource type containing the extended set of Netcool®/OMNIbus event fields to send to Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, and then update the Netcool/OMNIbus datasource already defined in Operations Analytics - Log Analysis to use this type. You then modify and restart the Gateway for Message Bus and Event Search will then chart results based on the custom fields you specified.
Before you begin
- Operations Analytics - Log Analysis 1.3.3 or 1.3.5 is installed.
- On the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis server, the $UNITY_HOME environment variable is set to the directory where Operations Analytics - Log Analysis is installed.
- The DSV toolkit is installed in the $UNITY_HOME/unity_content/DSVToolkit_v1.1.0.4 directory and you have write access to the directory.
- A version of python, which is compatible with the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis release, is installed and is on the system path.
- Tivoli® Netcool/OMNIbus Insight® Pack 1.3.1 is installed on the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis server.
