Client
IBM Z Service Management Explorer is a browser-based user
interface for viewing and monitoring your enterprise network.
Server
IZSME® connects
to its application server, the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal
Server (TEPS), which is a collection of software services that enable retrieval, manipulation and
analysis of data from the monitoring agents on your enterprise. The TEPS connects to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS), which acts as a
collection and control point for alerts received from the monitoring agents, and collects
performance and availability data. The main, or hub, TEMS (HTEMS) correlates the monitoring data
collected by agents and remote servers and passes it to the TEPS for presentation and evaluation.
Agent
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Agents (TEMAs) are installed on the systems whose applications or resources you want to monitor. The
monitoring agent collects the monitored data, and passes it to the TEMS to which it is connected.
The client gathers the current values of the monitored properties, or attributes, and displays them
in views. It can also test the values against a threshold and display an event indicator when that
threshold is exceeded.
