Configuring for Level 2 discovery
In addition to the requirements for Level 1 discovery, Level 2 discovery requires configuration to support discovery of detailed host configuration information.
If the target systems are IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring endpoints that
are discovered by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Scope sensor,
the credentials for those target systems are not required for Level
2 discovery. For more information, see the following sources:
- Integrating TADDM with IBM Tivoli Monitoring (old method)
- Configuring for discovery using IBM Tivoli Monitoring (old method)
- TADDM Sensor reference for information about the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Scope sensor
On the target operating systems (computer systems) that
you want TADDM to discover, at a minimum, you must configure the following
software:
- Secure Shell (SSH)
- You can use either OpenSSH or the vendor-supplied version of SSH that is provided with the operating system. For more information about Windows operating systems, see Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) dependency.
- SUNWscpu (Solaris environment only)
- To provide complete information about processes, install the SUNWscpu (Source Compatibility) package.
- LiSt Open Files (lsof)
- To provide complete information on dependencies, install the LiSt Open Files (lsof) program according to the requirements in lsof requirements in the TADDM Wiki at https://github.com/TADDM/taddm-wiki/wiki/Generic-Server-Sensor-(lsof).
