IBM Netcool Operations Insight Version 1.4.1

Network Manager Insight Pack

The Network Manager Insight Pack reads event data and network topology data so that it can be searched and visualized in the IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis product.

The Network Manager IP Edition product enriches all the event data that is generated by the devices on the network topology. It is stored in Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, so that the Operations Analytics - Log Analysis product can cross-reference devices and events. The Gateway for Message Bus is used to pass event data from Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus to Operations Analytics - Log Analysis. Also, the Network Manager Insight Pack reads topology data from the NCIM database in Network Manager IP Edition to identify the paths in the topology between the devices.

The scope of the topology search capability is that of the entire topology network, which includes all NCIM domains. To restrict the topology search to a single domain, you can configure a properties file that is included in the Network Manager Insight Pack.
