Essential Configuration

Essential configuration of OpsCx for IBM Tivoli consists of several tasks. Complete them in the following order:

  1. Configure the event integration.

    This task is mandatory for collecting events and topology.

  2. Configure the event backward synchronization.

    This task is mandatory for users who want the event changes in OMi to propagate back to IBM Tivoli.

  3. Configure the metric integration.

    This task is mandatory for collecting metrics and topology.

  4. Configure the topology integration.

    This task is mandatory for collecting topology. Topology information is constructed from received events and metrics.

If OpsCx for IBM Tivoli is used to integrate multiple types of IBM Tivoli entities, you can combine specific steps from the otherwise separate configuration procedures.

Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration of OpsCx for IBM Tivoli is not mandatory. It includes the following tasks:

  • Configure the behavior of the event, metric, and topology integrations. See Configuration Options topic.

  • Customize the default event mappings. See Entity Mappings topic.

It is recommended that advanced configuration tasks are performed only by users with sufficient knowledge of IBM Tivoli.

Configuration of Operations Connector for High Availability

Configuration of Operations Connector for High Availability includes the following tasks:

  1. Install and configure Operations Connector manually on all nodes comprising the Operations Connector cluster. Complete the applicable configuration tasks in the order presented in the Essential Configuration passage.

  2. Optional: To customize OpsCx for IBM Tivoli behavior, perform tasks listed in the Advanced Configuration passage.
