Post-installation - System status

After installation, Predictive Insights is ready to configure into a working system.

The following elements are in place and ready to use when Predictive Insights installation is complete:

  • The administration CLI is usable by the Linux® user account that installed Predictive Insights, that is, the Predictive Insights account, which is by default scadmin.
  • OMNIbus columns are created in the ObjectServer to store and display anomaly information if you set up alarm forwarding from the Analytics component to an OMNIbus ObjectServer during the installation.
    Note: If you have an environment with multiple OMNIbus ObjectServers, you must create columns on each ObjectServer to store and display anomaly information. For more information, see Configuring alarm forwarding from the Analytics server to an OMNIbus ObjectServer.
  • An OMNIbus probe is installed transparently as part of Predictive Insights.
  • The probe configuration files are updated to configure the connection to the Object Server.
  • A default set of probe rules file is installed. The rules file stores all relevant attributes in the Object Server database.
  • The right-click menu is configured in OMNIbus WebGUI during the UI component installation.
  • Access rights are granted to view events in Predictive Insights. The way in which rights are granted is specified in the IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub. Two existing Omnibus groups, Netcool_OMNIbus_User and Netcool_OMNIbus_Admin, are granted rights to view Predictive Insights events. The Dashboard Application Services Hub administrative user, ncoadmin, is added to the Netcool_OMNIbus_Admin group.
    Note: The password for the ncoadmin account defaults to the DASH profile user password, typically smadmin. However, if Tivoli Integrated Portal was previously installed on the server, the password for the ncoadmin account defaults to the tipadmin user password.
  • If you installed the REST Mediation Service, the component and the prerequisite components are installed. You can now configure it and send data to it before you extract data from it to Predictive Insights.
