Integrate Applications Manager alerts into IBM Tivoli Console
Step 1: Create a batch file with the command given below :
eventcreate /S <hostname> /U <username> /P <password> /t <SUCCESS / ERROR / WARNING / INFORMATION> /id <id> /SO AppManager /L <Application / Security / System> /D “some description here”
You can download a sample batch file here.
Step 2: Click on the Actions tab to display a drop-down list.
Step 3: Click on Execute Program from the drop-down list.
Step 4: Enter Display name and select the script location.
Step 5: In the ‘Program To Execute’ field, enter the name of the batch file that you created. You can use replaceable tags to enter the required alarm configuration parameters.
CreateWindowsEvent.bat “app-xp2 $MONITORNAME Response Time is $RCAMESSAGE”
Note:
Replaceable tags are supported in the ‘Program to Execute’ field. You can use the tags mentioned in the help card on the Execute Program page within double quotes to handle any spaces present inside tag value.To know more about replaceable tags, click here.
Step 6: Enter the path where the script is placed in the “Directory to execute Program” field.
Step 7: When the Program action is executed, an event of the type is created.
This event action thus created should be associated for each of the monitors that you wish to add. Now you can view alerts from Applications Manager in Tivoli’s centralized alarms console. This “one-stop shop” should significantly simplify any operations team’s work of monitoring critical alarms.We will be updating this space with screenshots of IBM Tivoli. In the meantime, if you have screenshots, you are welcome to share them with us.
