Monitoring Coverage reports

The Monitoring Coverage reports show details about various components in your environment. You can generate a report for operating systems, databases, Microsoft applications, VMware servers, and System p components in your environment. These components are monitored by IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring 6.1, or later agents. You can run this report from the BIRT Reports pane of the Data Management Portal.

Table 1 lists the coverage reports available. The report monitoring coverage for operating systems can be populated by the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring Scope sensor. However, the remaining reports require the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring discovery library adapter (DLA) to populate the reports.

The reports contain three sections:

Coverage by type

This section displays the number of monitored, unmonitored, and total instances grouped by report type. The Coverage Details window shows a graphical representation of the following statistics:

Overall Coverage
Coverage by platform

Coverage details

This section displays the fully qualified domain name, managed system name, and monitoring status grouped by report type. The monitoring status is listed, along with agent version information, if monitored. Clicking the MSN of a monitored system opens the Agent Details window.

Agent details

This section displays detailed information about the agent and the operating system running on it. The information displayed depends on whether the agent is monitored or unmonitored. Affinity and source token information is included along with a launch in context link to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal view of IBM Tivoli Monitoring.

The Management Software System section provides an inventory of the installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents and a launch in context link to workspaces in IBM Tivoli Monitoring. The Monitoring Coverage Summary provides a list of monitored and unmonitored systems, which you can use to monitor and maintain monitoring agents.

A level 1 discovery can use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Scope sensor to populate the monitoring coverage for operating systems report. The other reports must be populated by the IBM Tivoli Monitoring discovery library adapter (DLA). See the TADDM Administrator's Guide for information about IBM Tivoli Monitoring DLA.
