impact

of

your

problem

When

you

report

a

problem

to

IBM,

you

are

asked

to

supply

a

severity

level.

Therefore,

you

need

to

understand

and

assess

the

business

impact

of

the

problem

you

are

reporting.

Use

the

following

criteria:

Severity

1

Critical

business

impact:

You

are

unable

to

use

the

program,

resulting

in

a

critical

impact

on

operations.

This

condition

requires

an

immediate

solution.

Severity

2

Significant

business

impact:

The

program

is

usable

but

is

severely

limited.

Severity

3

Some

business

impact:

The

program

is

usable

with

less

significant

features

(not

critical

to

operations)

unavailable.

Severity

4

Minimal

business

impact:

The

problem

causes

little

impact

on

operations,

or

a

reasonable

circumvention

to

the

problem

has

been

implemented.

Describe

your

problem

and

gather

background

information

Values

for

arguments

or

options

Operating

system-dependent

variables

and

paths

The

publications

in

this

library

use

the

UNIX

convention

for

specifying

environment

variables

and

for

directory

notation.

When

using

the

Windows

command

line,

replace

$variable

with

%variable%

for

environment

variables

and

replace

each

forward

slash

(/)

with

a

backslash

(\)

in

directory

paths.

The

names

of

environment

variables

are

not

always

the

same

in

Windows

and

UNIX.

For

example,

%TEMP%

in

Windows

is

equivalent

to

$tmp

in

UNIX.

Note:

If

you

are

using

the

bash

shell

on

a

Windows

system,

you

can

use

the

UNIX

conventions.

Tivoli

command

syntax

The

following

special

characters

define

Tivoli

command

syntax:

[

]

Identifies

elements

that

are

optional.

Required

elements

do

not

have

brackets

around

them.

...

Indicates

that

you

can

specify

multiple

values

for

the

previous

element.

Separate

multiple

values

by

a

space,

unless

otherwise

directed

by

command

information.

If

the

ellipsis

for

an

element

follows

a

closing

bracket,

use

the

syntax

within

the

brackets

to

specify

multiple

values.

For

example,

to

specify

two

administrators

for

the

option

[–a

admin]...,

use

–a

admin1

–a

admin2.

If

the

ellipsis

for

an

element

is

within

the

brackets,

use

the

syntax

of

the

last

element

to

specify

multiple

values.

For

example,

to

specify

two

hosts

for

the

option

[–h

host...],

use

–h

host1

host2.

|

Indicates

mutually

exclusive

information.

You

can

use

the

element

on

either

the

left

or

right

of

the

vertical

bar.

{

}

Delimits

a

set

of

mutually

exclusive

elements

when

a

command

requires

one

of

them.

Brackets

([

])

are

around

elements

that

are

optional.

In

addition

to

the

special

characters,

Tivoli

command

syntax

uses

the

typeface

conventions

described

in

“Typeface

conventions”

on

page

xiv.

The

following

examples

illustrate

the

typeface

conventions

used

in

Tivoli

command

syntax:

v

wcrtpr

[–a

admin]...

[–s

region]

[–m

resource]...

name

The

name

argument

is

the

only

required

element

for

the

wcrtpr

command.

The

brackets

around

the

options

indicate

they

are

optional.

The

ellipsis

after

the

–a

admin

resource

option

means

that

you

can

specify

multiple

administrators

multiple

times.

The

ellipsis

after

Creating

profiles

and

profile

managers

Objective

To

create

profile

managers

and

profiles

so

you

can

organize

and

distribute

your

resource

models

more

efficiently.

The

installation

process

creates

a

profile

manager

and

profile

and

subscribes

all

resources

models

to

that

profile

(all

enabled

with

default

monitoring

settings).

You

can

use

this

procedure

to

create

new

profiles

and

profile

managers.

Background

information

A

monitoring

profile

is

a

group

of

defined

resource

models

that

you

can

distribute

(download

or

push)

to

a

subscribed

(marked

to

receive)

managed

resource

in

a

profile

manager.

In

addition

to

activating

default

resource

models,

profile

managers

and

profiles

can

group

resources

to

enable

simultaneous

monitoring

of

multiple

resources.

You

can

hierarchically

organize

the

profile

managers.

The

profile

manager

is

the

top

level

of

the

organization

and

contains

specific

profiles

that

contain

specific

resource

models.

Microsoft

Exchange

servers

are

then

subscribed

to

the

profile

managers,

which

enable

the

monitoring

information

to

be

channeled

to

those

resources.

You

can

create

an

unlimited

number

of

profile

managers

but

might

group

them

to

reflect

a

logical

or

functional

grouping

of

resources

or

the

organizational

structure

of

the

business.

For

example,

profile

managers

might

be

labeled

Sales

and

Marketing,

Administration

and

Finance,

and

Operations

to

reflect

a

business

organization.

You

can

create

a

dataless

profile

manager

that

distributes

profiles

without

regard

to

the

existence

of

a

database

on

its

subscribers.

A

dataless

profile

manager

distributes

to

the

system

files

on

endpoints

and

other

managed

resources

that

have

a

profile

database.

However,

it

bypasses

the

profile

database

on

these

systems.

Therefore,

profiles

are

available

only

with

database

profile

managers.

A

profile

manager

(database

or

dataless)

cannot

subscribe

to

a

dataless

profile

manager.

Likewise,

dataless

profile

managers

cannot

distribute

to

other

profile

managers

because

they

require

profiles

to

be

written

to

a

profile

database.

Resource

model

concepts

A

resource

model

captures

and

returns

information,

such

as

status,

about

a

resource

or

software

application

in

the

Tivoli

management

environment.

To

use

a

resource

model,

you

must

define

it

and

distribute

it

to

an

endpoint.

You

can

either

use

the

default

values

for

a

resource

model

to

collect

performance

data

or

customize

a

resource

model

to

match

specific

requirements

in

your

environment.

Distributing

resource

models

using

default

values

enables

you

to

begin

monitoring

immediately.

As

you

become

more

familiar

with

the

monitoring

process

and

feedback,

you

might

choose

to

customize

the

resource

model

information.

You

can

use

the

IBM

Tivoli

Monitoring

software

to

customize

existing

resource

models.

When

you

customize

a

resource

model,

you

can

modify

the

following

elements

of

the

resource

model

configuration:

Cycles

When

a

resource

model

runs

on

an

endpoint,

it

gathers

data

at

regular

intervals,

known

as

cycles.

cycle

time

and

is

displayed

in

seconds.

A

resource

model

with

a

cycle

time

of

60

seconds

gathers

data

every

60

seconds.

Each

of

the

pre-configured

resource

models

has

a

default

cycle

time

that

you

can

modify

when

you

define

the

resource

model.

At

each

cycle,

the

resource

model

collects

data,

analyzes

it,

generates

the

events,

and

triggers

specified

actions.

The

data

collected

are

a

snapshot

of

the

status

of

the

resources

specified

in

the

resource

model.

Indications

and

events

An

indication

occurs

when

the

state

of

a

given

resource

meets

defined

criteria.

By

itself,

an

indication

does

not

trigger

any

specific

action.

Indications

are

aggregated

to

become

an

event.

An

event

is

a

notification

of

change

in

the

status

of

a

resource.

An

event

is

triggered

when

an

indication

occurs

and

does

not

occur

(referred

to

as

a

hole)

in

a

set

pattern

or

a

set

number

of

times.

When

you

define

an

event,

you

also

specify

whether

these

indications

must

be

consecutive,

or

whether

the

sequence

can

be

interrupted

by

one

or

more

monitoring

cycles

that

do

not

register

any

indication

(holes).

For

example,

for

the

Availability

resource

model,

an

event

is

triggered

when

an

indication

occurs

once

during

the

cycle

time.

However,

for

the

Message

Volume

resource

model,

an

event

is

triggered

when

an

indication

occurs

four

times

and

does

not

occur

twice

during

consecutive

cycle

times.

If

this

pattern

of

occurrences

and

holes

is

met,

an

event

is

generated.

The

event

notifies

the

system

administrator

about

the

state

of

a

specific

resource.

Events

can

trigger

an

action,

and,

if

enabled,

send

a

notification

to

the

IBM

Tivoli

Enterprise

Console

event

server

or

to

IBM

Tivoli

Business

Systems

Manager.

Thresholds

A

threshold

is

a

point

that

must

be

exceeded

before

a

resource

model

triggers

an

event.

Each

threshold

has

a

default

numeric

value

that

you

can

change.

Typically,

this

value

represents

a

limit

for

a

satisfactory

resource

state.

If

the

monitored

resource

exceeds

this

limit,

an

indication

occurs.

For

example,

if

you

are

monitoring

disk

space

and

do

not

want

it

to

drop

under

70%,

you

can

set

70

as

the

threshold.

The

system

generates

an

indication

each

time

disk

space

is

less

than

70%.

Parameters

A

parameter

is

a

value

that

is

used

to

control

how

a

resource

model

operates.

Parameters

can

represent

the

instances

that

you

want

to

monitor

(such

as

the

e-mail

addresses

to

monitor

for

reachability)

or

a

limit

you

do

not

want

a

resource

to

exceed.

While

thresholds

can

only

be

numeric

values,

parameters

can

be

numeric

or

string

values.

Parameters

display

in

the

IBM

Tivoli

Monitoring

windows.

Some

resource

models

have

no

parameters,

others

have

one

or

more

parameters.

Scheduling

IBM

Tivoli

Monitoring

contains

a

scheduling

feature

that

enables

you

to

determine

a

period

within

which

monitoring

takes

place

and

specific

scheduling

rules.

The

scheduling

rules

enable

you

to

define

time

periods

on

specific

days

of

the

week

during

which

monitoring

takes

place.

Any

number

of

rules

can

be

defined,

allowing

you

to

set

up

a

complex

pattern

of

resource

monitoring

for

a

profile,

covering

the

time

periods

important

to

you.

flows

for

mailboxes,

folders,

and

message

queues,

and

the

Mailbox

Monitors

resource

model

Gathers

basic

information

about

the

individual

user

mailboxes

and

folders

defined

on

the

monitored

Microsoft

Exchange

server.

This

information

can

help

you

understand

and

manage

the

day-to-day

traffic

in

your

organization.

You

can

use

thresholds

to

determine

the

size

and

space

usage

limits

for

your

organization.

When

a

mailbox

or

folder

exceeds

a

specified

threshold,

you

are

alerted

and

can

take

preventive

or

corrective

action

(such

as

deleting

unneeded

messages

or

increasing

the

number

of

permitted

messages)

without

losing

service

to

the

mailbox

or

folder.

See

“Customizing

indications

and

on

page

35

for

information

about

setting

Message

Volume

resource

model

Monitors

the

number

of

messages

for

both

Microsoft

Exchange

servers

and

message

agents.

A

high

number

of

messages

sent

or

received

can

indicate

a

space

or

availability

problem

with

a

Microsoft

Exchange

server,

while

a

high

number

of

connection

errors

related

to

messages

can

indicate

that

the

server

is

failing.

This

resource

model

monitors

SMTP

and

MTA

messages

and

connections,

Information

Store

messages,

and

the

space

usage

for

Information

Stores.

The

resource

model

counts

the

number

of

messages

sent

or

received

during

the

cycle

time.

That

number

is

compared

with

the

number

from

the

previous

monitoring

cycle

and

the

delta

amount

is

logged.

If

that

delta

exceeds

the

threshold

that

you

define,

an

event

is

triggered.

See

“Customizing

indications

and

events”

on

page

35

for

information

about

levels.

Run

this

model

24

hours

Queues

resource

model

Monitors

Microsoft

Exchange

Server

message

queues,

including

message

transfer

agent

(MTA)

queues,

information

store

(IS)

queues,

and

Simple

Mail

Transfer

Protocol

(SMTP)

queues.

This

resource

model

monitors

queue

performance

by

measuring

the

number

of

items

in

a

queue.

A

high

number

of

messages

in

a

queue

can

indicate

a

problem

with

a

specific

queue.

Depending

on

the

queue,

there

might

be

a

problem

with

a

related

service,

a

looping

or

corrupted

message,

or

with

the

Exchange

Server

that

is

supposed

to

accept

the

messages.

This

resource

model

uses

thresholds

to

define

the

permitted

length

of

each

queue.

notify

you

to

Monitoring

Microsoft

Exchange

Server

alerts

Microsoft

Exchange

Server

alerts

and

error

conditions

are

logged

in

system

event

log

files.

The

Logs

resource

model

monitors

the

contents

of

these

files.

When

an

alert

is

logged

to

an

event

log

file,

you

are

immediately

notified

with

an

event

in

the

IBM

Tivoli

Enterprise

Console.

The

event

specifies

the

file

that

contains

the

alert

and

the

ID

of

the

alert.

You

can

then

view

the

specified

file

and

search

for

the

event.

Notes:

1.

To

monitor

event

log

messages,

you

must

configure

your

services

to

send

events

to

the

event

log

files.

If

you

do

not

configure

your

services

in

this

way,

the

Logs

resource

model

does

not

send

events

to

IBM

Tivoli

Enterprise

Console.

Use

the

DiagnosticLoggingSet

task

to

configure

logging

for

your

services.

See

Chapter

6,

“Monitoring

performance

and

availability

with

tasks

and

jobs,”

on

page

45

for

additional

information.

2.

If

you

clear

the

event

log

files

between

resource

model

cycles,

events

generated

before

and

after

the

clearing

action

was

processed

are

not

captured.

You

can

monitor

the

event

log

files

both

by

service

and

by

event

severity.

This

filtering

enables

you

to

focus

your

monitoring

of

alerts,

since

all

system

actions

are

logged

into

the

event

log

files.

You

are

alerted

only

when

an

alert

matching

your

specified

criteria

(such

as

a

critical

error

with

the

MSExchangeIS

service)

occurs

and

you

have

the

detailed

information

you

need

to

locate

the

specific

alert.

To

by

severity,

use

takes

place.

Background

information

IBM

Tivoli

Monitoring

contains

a

scheduling

feature

that

enables

you

to

determine

when

monitoring

takes

place

and

specific

scheduling

rules.

You

can

divide

the

overall

collection

period

into

active

and

inactive

intervals

by

applying

one

or

more

schedule

rules.

The

scheduling

rules

enable

you

to

define

time

periods

on

specific

weekdays

during

which

monitoring

takes

place.

You

can

define

any

number

of

rules

that

enable

you

to

set

up

a

complex

pattern

of

resource

monitoring

for

a

profile

and

covers

the

periods

that

you

want

to

monitor.

The

scheduled

times

are

always

interpreted

as

local

times,

enabling

you

to

set

up

a

single

rule

that

monitors

the

same

local

time

period

in

different

time

zones.

Gathering

information

with

tasks

The

following

tasks

provide

availability

and

performance

information

about

the

current

status

of

resources:

DisplayExchangeServerStatus

Returns

the

status

of

each

installed

Microsoft

Exchange

service

on

the

target

server.

Use

this

task

to

determine

whether

required

services

are

running.

If

a

needed

service

is

not

running

(such

as

MSExchangeIS),

you

can

start

it

with

the

StartExchangeServices

task.

MailboxInfo

Returns

detailed

information

about

mailbox

and

folders

on

the

target

server.

Use

this

task

to

determine

how

a

mailbox

is

being

used,

such

as

the

number

of

messages

that

it

contains

and

the

last

time

it

was

accessed.

Starting

and

stopping

services

There

are

two

IBM

Tivoli

Monitoring

for

Messaging

and

Collaboration:

Microsoft

Exchange

Server

tasks

that

address

the

availability

of

resources:

StartExchangeServices

Starts

the

services

that

make

up

a

Microsoft

Exchange

Server.

You

can

also

use

this

task

to

continue

paused

services.

Note:

You

cannot

start

paused

services;

you

must

continue

them.

Attempting

to

start

a

paused

service

does

not

change

the

status

of

that

service.

You

can

only

start

stopped

services.

Selecting

a

service

to

start

might

start

more

than

one

service

because

of

dependencies

between

services.

For

example,

starting

the

MSExchangeIS

service

also

starts

the

MSExchangeSA

service.

The

StartExchangeServices

task

reports

these

dependencies

when

initiating

start

commands.

You

can

use

this

task

as

a

response

task

from

the

Availability

resource

model.

StopExchangeServices

Stops

(or

pauses)

the

services

that

make

up

a

Microsoft

Exchange

Server.

Note:

You

cannot

stop

paused

services.

You

can

only

stop

running

services.

If

you

need

to

stop

a

paused

service,

use

the

StartExchangeServices

task

to

continue

the

service,

then

run

this

task

to

stop

the

service.

Selecting

a

service

to

stop

might

stop

more

than

one

service

because

of

dependencies

between

services.

For

example,

stopping

the

MSExchangeSA

service

also

stops

the

MSExchangeIS

service.

The

StopExchangeServices

task

reports

these

dependencies

when

initiating

stop

commands.

You

can

use

this

task

as

a

response

task

from

the

Availability

resource

model.
