򐂰 Configure the monitoring server to forward events to the event server, as

described in 5.1.3, “Configuring your monitoring server to forward events” on

page 318.

5.1.2 Installing monitoring agent .baroc files on the event server

The monitoring server generates Tivoli Enterprise Console events with classes

that are unique to each monitoring agent. Each monitoring agent provides a

.baroc file with the Tivoli Enterprise Console classes that are generated by IBM

Tivoli Monitoring V6.2. In order to view this event data in the event console, you

must install these monitoring agent .baroc files on the event server.

After you have added application support for each agent to the monitoring server,

the monitoring agent .baroc files are located in the following directory:

򐂰 On Windows, in the

<itm_installdir>\cms\TECLIB directory, where

<itm_installdir> is the directory where you installed IBM Tivoli Monitoring

V6.2.

򐂰 On Linux and UNIX, in the

<itm_installdir>/tables/<ms_name>/TECLIB

directory, where <itm_installdir> is the directory where you installed IBM Tivoli

Monitoring V6.2 and <ms_name> is the name of the monitoring server.

Use the following steps to install the monitoring agent .baroc files on the event

server:

1. Copy the monitoring agent .baroc files from the computer where the

monitoring server is installed to a temporary directory on the event server

computer (for example, /tmp). The location of the agent .baroc files is

described above.

Do not copy the om_tec.baroc file; this file contains classes

that are duplicates of classes in the omegamon.baroc file.

2. Set up the Tivoli Management Framework environment by running the

following command:

–On Windows:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\Tivoli\setup_env.cmd

– On Linux and UNIX, run the following command from a shell environment:

. /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh

3. For each monitoring agent .baroc file to load into the rule base, run the

following command from the same command prompt:

wrb -imprbclass /tmp/<agent_baroc_file> <rb_name>
