Monitoring IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator data

Use the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal (TEP) to monitor the data. For more details refer the listed steps.

To monitor data, we need to start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP), which is available in the ITM installation. In the navigator TEP window we can see the running Agents. The IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator Agent is also there and we have to expand it to see the specific monitoring data sources:

Figure 1. Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) - Wizards

We can find our custom made data sources there - AssemblyLine, ConfigInstance, Event Notifier. If we have a running IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator Server and a running AL in it, we can see it in the report table of the AssemblyLine data source.

Note: In order to display data in the Notifier report table, the IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator Agent has to be running before an IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator notification is triggered.

This browser can be tuned in several ways: for numeric data it is possible to have a more human readable presentation (like diagrams). It is also possible to change the layout of the tables.

This functionality is not very complex, and is well described in the ITM documentation.

As the aim of this document is not to present the whole ITM product in intricate detail, but to focus on the usage that can be done in correlation with IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator, we will present here only the two trickiest concepts: defining thresholds, and links between tables.

For other functionality, please refer to the ITM documentation.

• Defining thresholds
  You can learn to work on threshold mechanism by using the example and screen captures here.
• Creating links between tables
  You can create links between tables in ITM. Learn more about the purpose of creating links and how to create links with the information provided here.
