Event synchronization component

The event synchronization component sends updates to situation events that have been forwarded to a Tivoli Enterprise Console® event server or an IBM® Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus ObjectServer back to the monitoring server. In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, the Situation Event Console, the Common Event Console and the Tivoli Enterprise Console event views are synchronized with the updated status of the events.

For information about the various configurations of monitoring servers and event servers that you can have in your environment, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide.

You can set up stand-alone monitoring agents (those that are configured in their own address spaces) to run in autonomous mode (without communicating directly with a monitoring server). An autonomous agent can emit Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and Event Integration Facility (EIF) events directly to a Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer for agent-specific situations (but not for enterprise situations).

The IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Installation and Setup Guide provides instructions for configuring Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServers to receive the events. For information on specifying which situation events to forward, see the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online help and the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide. For detailed information about configuring and managing autonomous agents, see the Agent autonomy topics in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Administrator's Guide.
