To capture resource monitoring
data from an IBM® Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, you must configure the data source.
Procedure
To configure the IBM Tivoli® Monitoring source:
- On the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
page, specify the monitoring server that you want to use to capture
resource monitoring data.
- Type the IP address or the fully qualified host name
of the monitoring server in the Host field
on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server page. This is different
from the Host field at the top of the Create and manage configurations wizard.
- Type the user ID and password for the monitoring server
in Authentication.
- Change the Connection information
if needed. Typically, your Tivoli system administrator will specify this information.
- Select Save Password to save
your password locally. If you do not save your password, you might
be prompted for it (depending on the host system configuration) when
editing the configured location or when running test schedules that
use the location.
After you have specified the monitoring server, you can
choose resources to capture. If the host is not managed by the monitoring
server, you will see an error message.
- On the Resource page, select the type of data that you
want to capture. The tree view shows the host and all of its available IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents, and their respective counter groups
and counters. Be selective; monitoring all possible resource data
requires substantial amounts of memory. Clear the Show
only selected counters check box to see all available
counters. Hold your mouse pointer over a counter to see details about
what that counter measures.
- Configure time intervals on the Options page.
- Type the Polling Interval in
seconds, for collecting resource data. For example, if you accept
the default of 5 seconds, counter information will be collected at
5-second intervals from the specified host during the schedule run.
- Type the Timeout Interval in
seconds. If the resource monitoring host does not respond within this
amount of time during a schedule run, an error will be logged.
- To collect the resource monitoring data for the system under test that is in the cloud, in the
Cloud Options tab, click the Location in Public Cloud
check box.
- Click Next.
- Specify a location and name and click Finish.
