This T ivoli Monitoring envir onment contains the following components: Tivoli Enterprise Portal client The portal has a user interface based on Java for viewing and monitoring your enterprise. Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server The portal server is placed between the client and the T ivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and enables r etrieval, manipulation, and analysis of data fr om the monitoring agents. The T ivoliEnterprise Portal Server is the central r epository for all user data. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server The monitoring server acts as a collection and contr ol point for alerts r eceived fr om the monitoring agents, and collects their performance and availability data. The T ivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is also a r epository for historical data. Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent, Microsoft .NET Framework agent This monitoring agent collects data and distributes the data to the T ivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, T ivoli Enterprise Portal Server , T ivoli Enterprise Portal, T ivoli Data W arehouse, and T ivoliIntegrated Portal. 2The Micr osoft .NET Framework agent Installation and Configuration Guide

Event information is tracked in a high-performance, in-memory database and pr esented to specific users through individually configurable filters and views. The softwar e includes automation functions that you can use to perform intelligent pr ocessing on managed events. You can use this softwar eto forwar d events for T ivoli Monitoring situations to T ivoli Netcool/OMNIbus. IBM T ivoli Enterprise Console The T ivoli Enterprise Console žis an optional component that acts as a central collection point for events fr om various sour ces, including events fr om other T ivoli softwar e applications, T ivolipartner applications, custom applications, network management platforms, and r elationaldatabase systems. You can view these events thr ough the T ivoli Enterprise Portal (by using the event viewer), and you can forwar d events fr om T ivoli Monitoring situations to the T ivoliEnterprise Console component. If you do not alr eady use T ivoli Enterprise Console and need an event management component, you can choose to use IBM T ivoli Netcool/OMNIbus. IBM T ivoli Common Reporting Tivoli Common Reporting is a separately installable featur e available to users of T ivoli softwar ethat pr ovides a consistent appr oach to generating and customizing r eports.
