IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring provides the ability to
deploy monitoring agents from a central location, the monitoring server.
Just as there are two types of monitoring agents, there are two
types of agent deployment:
- OS agent deployment from the installation image or using the tacmd
createNode command
- Non-OS agent (such as the DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows agent)
deployment using the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal GUI (for other non-OS agents) or the tacmd addSystem command
You can also use the remote agent deployment function to configure
deployed agents and install maintenance on your agents. For information,
see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's
Guide.
See the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference for
commands that you can use to perform these tasks.
Important: Run the tacmd login command
before executing commands from the tacmd library. This requirement
does not apply to the addBundles command. Run
the tacmd logoff command after you finish using
the tacmd command library."
