The System Monitor Agent packages provide IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring operating-system agents whose reduced footprint makes them ideal for customers who need fully autonomous OS agent monitoring in environments where disk space or image transmission bandwidth is in short supply. These System Monitor Agent packages offer a significantly reduced bundle size and installed footprint.
The System Monitor Agents support direct Netcool/OMNIbus integration without a connection to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. The System Monitor Agent instead sends SNMP alerts directly to an SNMP Event Collector such as Netcool/OMNIbus.
Installation times are significantly reduced due to the small size of the agents. System monitor agents use simplified flat-file, machine-independent configuration. Configuration files no longer contain references to the host name or system where the file is located; with this change, you can share and transport common configuration files across your network.
