The Tivoli Enterprise Console (TEC) server is part of the Systems Management business system. The TEC component provides a number of monitors and tasks that allow you to use APM to monitor the health of and event load on the TEC server.
The TEC monitors do the following:
The TEC tasks allow you to:
Use the Query_Threshold command to get the last threshold
information of a monitor. You may be prompted for the suborigin of the
component instance monitored and the name of the monitor as defined in
the CDF.
Query Reporting Mode
Use the Query Reporting Mode command to display the current
reporting mode of the TEC instrumentation. The available modes are
all and tec. The all mode shows all incoming connections
to the TEC server. The tec mode will show only TEC->TEC connections.
Query TEC State
Use the Query TEC State command to display the current state
of the TEC server in STDOUT. If the server is running, up is
displayed. If the server is not running, down is displayed.
If the server has been uninstalled, gone is displayed.
Report All Connections
Use the Report All Connections command to have the reporting mode of the TEC instrumentation report all incomeing connections. You should use this mode if you do not have any TEC->TEC connections in your enterprise.
You must either delete the TEC resource or recycle the APM server
when changing from one reporting mode to another.
Report Only TEC-TEC Connections
Use the Report Only TEC-TEC Connections command to have the reporting mode of the TEC instrumentation report only TEC->TEC connections. You should use this mode if you have TEC forwarding TEC events to another TEC.
You must either delete the TEC resource or recycle the APM server
when changing from one reporting mode to another.
Set_Polling_Interval
Use the Set_Polling_Interval command to set the monitoring
interval for a TEC monitor. You will be prompted to specify 1) the
suborigin of the component instance monitored, 2) the name of the
monitor as defined in the CDF, and 3) the monitor interval (in
minutes).
Set_TEC_Pulse
Use the Set_TEC_Pulse command to set the monitoring interval
for the TEC heartbeat monitor. You will be prompted to specify the
and a monitor interval (in minutes). The default values for the
interval is and 60 minutes.
Set_TEC_Rel_Threshold
Use the Set_TEC_Rel_Threshold command to set the threshold
values for the Events Received Rate Monitor. You will be prompted to
threshold information. The format for threshold information is:
Use the Set_TEC_Threshold command to set the monitor
threshold for specified monitor. You will be prompted to
specify: a suborigin (hostname), a monitor name, and threshold
information.
The format for threshold information is as follows: If the value you enter in a field includes blank characters, be
sure to enclose the value in double quotes.
Use the Start TEC command to start the TEC event server. If
the server is already started, this task returns a successful return
code. If the server cannot be started, a message is displayed.
Use the Stop TEC command to stop the TEC event server. If
the server is already stopped, this task returns a successful return
code.
Use the TEC_Clear_Closed_Events command to clear closed
events from the TEC repository. You will be prompted to specify the
age in seconds after which events will be cleared.
Use the TEC Clear Reception Log command to clear closed
events from the TEC reception log.
Use the TEC Clear Trigger Table command to clear all events
from the TEC trigger table. The trigger table is a subset of TEC's
event reception log and is used by the instrumentation to determine
connections and event flow into TEC.
Use the TEC Create Trigger command to create the trigger
for the TEC trigger table. The trigger table is a subset of TEC's
event reception log and is used by the instrumentation to determine
connections and event flow into TEC. The trigger table is created
when the rest of the tables for TEC3.1 are installed. Creating the
trigger tells the DB to update the threshold table whenever the
event reception log table is updated.
Use the TEC Database Status command to check that status of
database server and return the result to standard out.
Use the TEC Device Space Free (MB) command to determine the
number of MB free in the TEC device space.
Use the TEC Device Space Free (pct) command to determine the
percent of memory free in the TEC device space.
Use the TEC Device Space Used (MB) command to determine the
number of MB used in the TEC device space.
Use the TEC Device Space Free (pct) command to determine the
percent of memory used in the TEC device space.
Use the TEC Server Status command to determine the status
of the TEC Event Server and return the result to standard out.
The TEC Database Status monitor checks the status of the database
server and sends an event when it detects a change of status.
The TEC Server Status monitor checks the status of the TEC server
and sends an event when it detects a change of status.
The TEC Heartbeat monitor checks the status of the TEC server and
sends a heartbeat event when TEC is running.
The TEC Events Received Per Hour monitor counts and returns the
number of events the TEC server receives per hour by relationship
class type from each of the components connected to TEC.
The events are saved in the trigger table of the TEC log and a task
(TEC Clear Trigger Table) is provided as part of the TEC
instrumentation to allow you to clear old events from the trigger
table.
The TEC Events Sent Per Hour monitor counts and returns the
number of events the TEC server sends per hour by relationship
class type from each of the components connected to TEC.
The TEC Device Space Used (MB) monitor checks the number of
megabytes of device space being used and issues a warning event when
the space used is high. The user is responsible for setting the
threshold values for device space used. The threshold values can be
set by editing the monitors in the monitor profile dialog.
The TEC Device Space Used (pct) monitor checks the percentage of
device space used and issues a warning event when that percentage is
high. The user is responsible for setting the threshold values for
device space used. The threshold values can be set by editing the
monitors in the monitor profile dialog.
The TEC Device Space Free (MB) monitor checks the number of free
megabytes of device space and issues a warning event when the free
space is low. The user is responsible for setting the threshold
values for device space free. The threshold values can be set by
editing the monitors in the monitor profile dialog.
The TEC Device Space Free (pct) monitor checks the percentage of
device space free and issues a warning event when that percentage is
high. The user is responsible for setting the threshold values for
device space used. The threshold values can be set by editing the
monitors in the monitor profile dialog.
The connections between APM components are defined by relationship
class type. TEC Event is currently the only relationship class
defined for events to TEC.
