Tivoli Enterprise Portal interface
This graphical user interface may be accessed through a Java™-based desktop client or a supported browser. The Tivoli Enterprise Portal provides the greatest number of features, but requires the most infrastructure.
- The ability to merge the data from multiple agents or multiple systems into a single workspace for business views and unit-of-work views
- The ability to define specific conditions that should be monitored (situations)
- The ability to define colored highlights and sounds to alert operators when events occur
- Proactive automation to respond to situations
- Highly customizable graph and table views
- Integral historical data collection, reporting, and warehousing
- Customizable historical reporting
- Integration with other Tivoli® and IBM® products, including single sign-on
- Event forwarding to event management systems LDAP authentication
The portal uses the standard browser interface and is user-friendly to most users and is often the preferred interface for operation centers, managers, and technical staff. Using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal interface always requires defining and running the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, a hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, and potentially one or more remote monitoring servers. The agents that will provide data also have to be configured. For more information about the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide.
