Near-term History provides the capability to investigate problems that occurred in
the recent past by using the OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface. Near-term History provides intuitive access to historical data
collected by both agents and IBM Tivoli Monitoring.
About this task
You can configure near-term history data collections, their frequency, and various
other parameters associated with the collections.
Procedure
-
Click View and select History
Configuration.
OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface displays the historical tables for the selected hub.
-
Place your cursor before the attribute group name that you want to configure
for near-term history data collection and press Enter. In
this example, select SYSCPUUTIL for System CPU
Utilization attribute group.
OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface displays the OMEGAMON History Configuration workspace. The view
defaults to the General tab.
-
Enter a name for this data collection in the Collection
Name field. For example,
OMDS:syscpuutil.
-
To select the interval time for the collection, place your cursor before an
interval time, type s, and press
Enter. For example, select 30
Minutes.
The selected interval changes color.
-
To select the collection location, place your cursor before
TEMA or TEMS, and click
OK.
In many cases, the location is predetermined for some attributes. In such
cases, the location of the collection is not configurable and you receive a
message that changes cannot be made to those locations.
You receive the message that the collection was successfully
updated.
-
To set up your data collection to run either on specific Managed Systems or for
a Managed System List, click the Distribution tab.
Note: Specifying a Managed System List usually indicates
collection for one or more Managed Systems.
-
To select one or more Managed Systems or Managed System Lists for your
collection, place your cursor before the system or list name, type
s, and press Enter.
The selected distribution's collection status changes from
Excluded to Including to indicate that you
are including them in the collection.
-
To save your collection, place your cursor over OK and
press Enter.
- Optional:
To exit without saving your collection, place your cursor over
CANCEL and press Enter.
Alternatively, if you navigate away from the General or
Distribution tabs, your changes are not saved.
Results
You are returned to the Historical tables configuration workspace. If you saved your
data collection, it is listed under the System CPU Utilization attribute group and
Collection name (in this example, OMDS:syscpuutil).
