on and a sound to play for an open event.
Predefined situations are associated
automatically, as are situations created or
edited through the Navigator item pop-up
menu. When you open the Situation
editor from the toolbar, any situations you
create cannot be associated with a
Navigator item during this editing
session. You must close the Situation
editor, then open it again from the pop-up
menu of the Navigator item with which
the situation should be associated.
attribute
(1) A system or application element being
monitored by the monitoring agent, such
as Disk Name and Disk Read/Writes Per
Second. (2) A characteristic of a managed
object; that is, a field in the data structure
of a managed object or in the workspace
associated with that managed object. (3) A
field in an ODBC-compliant database.
attribute group
A set of related attributes that can be
combined in a data view or a situation.
When you open the view or start the
situation, data samples of the selected
attributes are retrieved. Each type of
monitoring agent has its own set of
attribute groups.
baroc files
Basic Recorder of Objects in C files define
event classes for a particular Tivoli
Enterprise Console event server. Baroc
files also validate event formats based on
these event-class definitions.
browser client
The software installed with the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server that is
downloaded to your computer when you
start the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser
client. The browser client runs under
control of a web browser.
Candle Management Workstation
The client component of a CandleNet
Command Center environment; it
provides the graphical user interface. It is
replaced by the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
chart A graphical view of data returned from a
monitoring agent. A data point is plotted
for each attribute chosen and, for bar and
pie charts, a data series for each row.
Types of charts include pie, bar, plot, and
gauge.
CIM See Common Information Model.
class file
A file containing Java object code for a
single Java object class.
class loader
A Java component that loads Java class
files.
client An application that receives requested
data from a server.
client/server architecture
An architecture in which the client
(usually a personal computer or
workstation) is the machine requesting
data or services and the server is the
machine supplying them. Servers can be
microcomputers, minicomputers, or
mainframes. The client provides the user
interface and may perform application
processing. In IBM Tivoli Monitoring the
Tivoli Enterprise Portal is the client to the
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
A database server maintains the
databases and processes requests from the
client to extract data from or to update
the database. An application server
provides additional business-support
processing for the clients.
Common Information Model
An XML-based standard for defining
device and application characteristics so
that system administrators and
management programs can monitor and
control them using the same set of tools,
regardless of their differing architectures.
CIM provides a more comprehensive
toolkit for such management functions
than the Simple Network Management
Protocol.
Common Object Request Broker Architecture
An industry specification for the design
and standardization of different types of
object request brokers (ORBs). ORBs allow
different computers to exchange object
data; CORBA enables ORBs from different
software vendors (often running under
dissimilar computer systems and
operating systems) to exchange object
data. CORBA is an architecture and
specification that facilitates
