Enabling Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent

The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent for OMEGAMON® for Db2 PE is the OMEGAMON Agent.

About this task

When used with OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert, the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent does not retrieve performance data. Instead, it connects with the OMEGAMON Collector so that the Tivoli Enterprise Portal infrastructure can access the performance data that is collected in the OMEGAMON Collector.

You can configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent as a stand-alone address space or as part of a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server address space. To improve performance, you might want to configure the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent as a stand-alone address space.

Restriction: When more than one Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent for DB2 is installed and running on the same LPAR connecting to the same hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server can only accept data from one Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent per LPAR at a time.

The instructions in this section describe how to configure a stand-alone Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent in its own address space (that is on the same LPAR as the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server).
