KDS_TEMS_TYPE

This parameter specifies whether to configure a monitoring server as a hub monitoring server or a remote monitoring server

The hub monitoring server is the focal point for the entire monitoring environment. This server is under a significant load. Work on the hub includes communicating with remote monitoring servers, with the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Server, and with local monitoring agents; authenticating users; consolidating and distributing data; storing and tracking situations and policies; and initiating and tracking all generated Take Action commands.

Remote monitoring servers communicate only with the monitoring agents that report to them and with the hub monitoring server to which they report. Note that a remote monitoring server is remote with respect to the hub monitoring server, not necessarily with respect to the monitoring agents. If monitoring agents are installed on the same system as a remote monitoring server, that monitoring server is local to the monitoring agents but remote to the hub.

The load on remote monitoring servers is typically low. Load is driven higher if historical data collection is performed on the monitoring servers instead of on the monitoring agents.
