Installation of the base IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring software and
other integrated applications provides various interfaces that you
can use to work with your resources and data.
The following interfaces are available:
- Tivoli Enterprise
Portal user
interface
- You can run the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal as
a desktop application or a browser application. The client interface
is a graphical user interface (GUI) based on Java™ on a Windows or Linux workstation. The browser
application is automatically installed with the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server. The desktop
application is installed by using the Tivoli Monitoring
installation media or with a Java Web
Start application. To start the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal browser client
in your Internet browser, enter the URL for a specific Tivoli Enterprise
Portal browser client
installed on your Web server.
- Command-line interface
- You can use Tivoli Monitoring commands
to manage the Tivoli Monitoring
components and their configuration. You can also run commands at the Tivoli Enterprise Console® event
server or the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer
to configure event synchronization for enterprise situations.
- Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services window
- You can use the window for the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services utility
to configure the agent and start Tivoli services
not designated to start automatically.
- IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus event
list
- You can use the Netcool/OMNIbus event list to monitor and manage
events. An event is created when the Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer
receives an event, alert, message, or data item. Each event is made
up of columns (or fields) of information that are displayed in a row
in the ObjectServer alerts.status table. The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus web
GUI is also a web-based application that processes network events
from one or more data sources and presents the event data in various
graphical formats.
- IBM Tivoli Enterprise
Console
- You can use the Tivoli Enterprise Console to
help ensure the optimal availability of an IT service for an organization.
The Tivoli Enterprise Console is
an event management application that integrates system, network, database,
and application management. If you do not already use Tivoli Enterprise Console and need
an event management component, you can choose to use Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.
- IBM Tivoli Common
Reporting
- Use
the Tivoli Common
Reporting web
user interface for specifying report parameters and other report properties,
generating formatted reports, scheduling reports, and viewing reports.
This user interface is based on the Dashboard Application Services
Hub for Tivoli Common
Reporting 3.1
and on Tivoli Integrated
Portal for
earlier versions.
- IBM Tivoli Application Dependency
Discovery Manager
- The Discovery Management Console is the TADDM client
user interface for managing discoveries.
- IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager
- The Tivoli Business
Service Manager console
provides a graphical user interface that you can use to logically
link services and business requirements within the service model.
The service model provides an operator with a second-by-second view
of how an enterprise is performing at any moment in time or how the
enterprise performed over a time period.
- IBM Dashboard Application Services Hub console
- The Dashboard Application Services Hub provides an administrative
console for applications that use this framework. It is a web-based
console that provides common task navigation for products, aggregation
of data from multiple products into a single view, and the passing
of messages between views from different products. This interface
replaces the Tivoli Integrated Portal component after version 2.2.
- Tivoli Integrated Portal
- Web-based products that are built on the Tivoli Integrated Portal
framework share a common user interface where you can launch applications
and share information. After version 2.2, this interface is replaced
by the Dashboard Application Services Hub.
