Configuring Event Search

Event search applies the search and analysis capabilities of Operations Analytics - Log Analysis to events that are monitored and managed by Netcool®/OMNIbus.

About Event Search
Event Search provides an indexing capability to enable your operators to define index-based views of their event data.
Required products and components
You must have the following products and components installed in order to configure Event Search.
Configuring integration with Operations Analytics - Log Analysis
This section describes how to configure the integration of the Netcool/OMNIbus and Operations Analytics - Log Analysis products. Events are forwarded from Netcool/OMNIbus to Operations Analytics - Log Analysis by the Gateway for Message Bus.
Configuring single sign-on for the event search capability
Configure single sign-on (SSO) between Web GUI and Operations Analytics - Log Analysis so that users can switch between the two products without having to log in each time. SSO can be configured by using LDAP or the OMNIbus ObjectServer.
Customizing event management tools
The tools in the Event Viewer and AEL search for event data based on fields from the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. The fields are specified by URLs that are called when the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis product is started from the tools. You can change the URLs in the tools from the default event fields to search on fields of your choice.
Adding custom apps to the Table View toolbar
To quickly launch custom apps, add them to the Table View toolbar of the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis UI. It is good practice to add the OMNIbus_Keyword_Search.app and OMNIbus_Static_Dashboard.app apps to the toolbar.
Customizing the Netcool/OMNIbus Insight Pack
You can customize Event Search to your specific needs by customizing the Netcool/OMNIbus Insight® Pack . For example, you might want to send an extended set of Netcool/OMNIbus event fields to Operations Analytics - Log Analysis and chart results based on those fields.
