Monitoring agents

OMEGAMON monitoring agent products are available for systems, database products, and applications.

Monitoring agents are located on monitored, or managed, systems. The agents pass the system or application data they collect to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, and the data is passed to a connected client user interface (OMEGAMON® enhanced 3270 user interface or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal). Monitoring agents can also sample data at specified intervals and store it for short-term historical collection, which can then be transferred to a Tivoli Data Warehouse. Finally, the monitoring agents can also compare the current values of monitored properties against a set of defined conditions and thresholds, and trigger alerts or actions when the current values match the defined conditions or surpass the thresholds.
