Weekly report of the events (situations being triggered)

You might want to implement the following procedure:
1) On your TEPS change the $CANDLEHOME/CNPS/kfwenv (direct editing or
from MTMS edit) contents for
KFW_PRUNE_START = hh:mm (in 24 hours format, ex. 03:00) default 00:00
KFW_PRUNE_END = hh:mm (ex 05:00) default 04:00
KFW_EVENT_RETENTION = d (where d is number of days to keep) default 1
2) Create a new query with the formula
Open Query Editor
Clic Create New button
Select a category (ex. Warehouse Proxy)
Select ODBC TEPS
Enter name, description and formula: SELECT * FROM KFWTSIT
3) Create a new view in a workspace (or change an existing one) with the
query created in step 2. You might want to modify the filters to reduce
the number of attributes displayed.

You must recycle the TEPS to activate the changes in kfwenv. Naturally it will take some time (value d in step 1) to have the full period. In the view created in step 3 you can export in a csv file. You can save the workplace to a new one.

Effect of changing ip address/hostname of a ITM server

Effect of changing ip address/hostname of a ITM server: "What needs to be done if the ip address/hostname of the server where ITM component is installed and active is changed?"

Question
What needs to be done if the ip address/hostname of the server where ITM component is installed and active is changed?

Answer
Below are the necessary things needed to be done if the ip address/hostname of the ITM component server is changed.

Where HUB TEMS is active

a. The HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to use the new ip address or hostname

b. if this HUB TEMS is a standby TEMS, then the primary HUB TEMS must be configured to change the backup/standby TEMS ip address or hostname

c. All the Remote TEMS pointing to this HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address or hostname

d. All the agents reporting to this HUB TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address/hostname including warehouse proxy and Summarization and Pruning agents

e. If your site is using firewall and Network address translation, you must reconfigure the TEMS to take care of the network address translation using implementation with partition file or correct the HUB TEMS address manually in the partition.txt file

More information about implementation with partition file, refer to the Administrator guide

f. if the HUB TEMS is configured to handle SOAP request, the soap server must be configured to handle new ip address or host name or the kshxhubs file must be updated manually with the new HUB TEMS ip address.

For more information, refer to the URL below for errors received during the taccmd logon process:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21405770

g. if you have TEC or Omnibus installed and support event synchronization for sending synchronization events to the monitoring server, the product must be reconfigured to reflect the new IP address or the hostname of the HUB monitoring server


Where Remote TEMS is active

a. The Remote TEMS must be reconfigured to the new ip address/hostname

b. All the agents pointing to this Remote TEMS must be reconfigured to reflect the new ip address/hostname

c. If your site is using firewall and Network address translation, you must reconfigure the TEMS to take care of the network address translation using implementation with partition file or correct the HUB TEMS address manually in the partition.txt file

More information about implementation with partition file, refer to the Administrator guide

Where TEPS is active

a. Reconfigure the TEPS to use the new ip address/hostname

b. Follow the below technote to change the DB2 configuration if the DB2 database is in the TEPS server

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21258834


Where agent is active

a. Nothing needs to be done

Preserving user defined customization

Preserving user defined customization: "How to preserve the user defined customization?"

Question
How to preserve the user defined customization?

Answer
Here are few steps you could use to preserve the user defined customization.

1. Use Migrate export and migrate import command to preserve a copy of the TEPS database including users, custom navigators, custom workspaces, custom queries, application support etc..

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.itm.doc/itm_admin_62151.htm

2. Use tacmd bulkExportSit and bulkImportSit command to export all the available situations from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server

3. Use tacmd bulkExportPcy and bulkImportPcy command to export all the available policies from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.

4. Use tacmd viewsystemlist command to view the configuration of a managed system list or save it to a file.

5. Use tacmd viewsit command to view the definition of a situation or save it to a file. This command is used to save a single situation as opposed to saving all situations using bulkexportsit

How to Change the ITM Encryption Key

The ITM encryption key defined on the Hub TEMS must be entered during the installation of all agents to enable those agents to connect to the Hub TEMS. That encryption key cannot be configured outside of the agent installations.

If an incorrect key was entered during the installation, or migrating between TEMS with different keys, it is possible to update the key without having to reinstall the agent. The file $ITMHOME/keyfiles/kae256.ser can be copied from another agent that has the correct encryption key configured.

This technique is useful for the AIX Base agents that may have been pre-installed on the servers.

MustGather: Read first for all ITM V6 components

Problem(Abstract)
For every problem, collecting data can aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs).

Gathering this data before calling IBM® support will help you understand the problem and save time analyzing the data.

Resolving the problem
Collecting MustGather data early, even before opening the PMR, helps IBM® Support quickly determine if:

* Symptoms match known problems (rediscovery).
* There is a non-defect problem that can be identified and resolved.
* There is a defect that identifies a workaround to reduce severity.
* Locating root cause can speed development of a code fix.


MustGather: Readme first table of contents:
Gathering general information
Gathering Component Specific Information
ITM Collector Tools
Submitting information to IBM Support


Gathering general information
For IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6 or later, you can use the IBM Support Assistant (ISA) to capture general information. Alternatively you can use the ITM collector tools or manually capture general information from the environment.

Entering general information into an electronically-opened PMR (ESR) eliminates waiting on the phone to provide general information to Level 1 support.

Since IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6 is made up of many components it is possible that you will need to collect information from more than one component and system to isolate and correct an issue.

Gathering Component Specific Information

For assistance in help identifying the component causing problems, visit the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Problem Determination Guide.

Otherwise, take a look at the components and in the table below. If one of the product components below indicates where your symptom or the part of the product with which you are experiencing problems, follow the instructions in the associated MustGather document (some MustGather documents are under construction and will come available as they are completed):

TEP desktop login hangs with message "KFWITM006I Validating user credentials"

TEP desktop login hangs with message "KFWITM006I Validating user credentials"

Problem(Abstract)
Correct user authentication parameters (login name and password) are given in the TEP Desktop Client, but the login hangs at the message "KFWITM006I Validating user credentials."

Cause
One possibility is that there has been some change in the java installation affecting it's ability to retrieve various java classes.

Diagnosing the problem
1) Check whether the installed java version satisfies the minimum requirement for the TEP version you are at.

2)If installed java version is correct, then when the TEP login hangs with the message "KFWITM006I", click "Cancel" and look for the following entries in TEP desktop client logs.
Location of TEP desktop client logs is : %candlehome%\cnp\logs

Look for error kcjras1.log: Error loading User Permission Cross-Reference tables:candle.fw.model.RequestNotSupportedException:KFWITM219E Request failed during creation.

If this error is present, then look at KCJ.log. The KCJ.log file is appended each time, therefore open this file and look for errors/exceptions at the end of the file. Some of the examples or errors/exceptions seen are as below:

i) JVMJ9VM019E Fatal error: Unable to find and initialize required class java/lang/Object

ii) Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Check if any one or more similar errors are present at the bottom of KCJ.log

Note: "Thread-6" is dynamic value and it can change between invocations.

Resolving the problem
Reinstall java version as per following steps:

If any ITM components other than TEP desktop client are also present on the same machine then stop those components.

1)Go to "Add/Remove programs" in control panel and uninstall Java.

2)after uninstall is complete it will ask to reboot the machine.

3)click "yes" and reboot the machine.

4)Default IBM java installation directory is : C:\Program Files\IBM\Java50

Default sun Java installation directory is : C:\Program files\Java.

5)Go to java installation directory , rename and back up installation directory to some other place and then completely remove it completely from installation location.

6)Reinstall Java. Reboot machine if asked.

Start ITM components other than TEP desktop client (if present).

Login to TEP desktop client.

Is it possible to assign a specific customized navigator tree as the default for a single user?

Is it possible to assign a specific customized navigator tree as the default for a single user?

Answer

1.
Log in to the TEPS as the administrator (sysadmin)


2.
Above the navigator tree there is a button named "Edit Navigator View"
click this.


3.
Click on "create new navigator view"

- Name the view and click OK, Then drag all the managed systems you want to be available in your navigator tree from the "Source view" on the right, to your navigator tree (target View) on the left. Then close the window.

4.
Open the "administer users" from the tool bar in the TEPS Dashboard.



9.
Now select the user that you wish to only see this newly created navigator tree.

There are three tabs in the window select the "Navigator View" tab


Under the Available views section, select the workspace you created and
click the arrow to add it to the Assigned views.

Once you have done that, select the Physical and Logical view under the
Assigned Views section and remove them.

This will then only leave the navigator tree you designed available to the user.

ITM 6.X - Ports to open across a firewall

ITM 6.X - Ports to open across a firewall: "Multiple ITM components on the same server will assign ports based on the startup sequence and a well known algorithm."

Resolving the problem
Any TEMSs or TEMAs that are communicating across a firewall will require that you know which ports need to be open on the firewall. Administrators will only want to open the minimum number of ports
First, when dealing with firewall issues, make sure that you pick IP.PIPE as the communication protocol.

TEMS uses 1918 as the main communication port. (1918 is the default but you can specify something else).

It also uses 1920 for access to the service console - for dynamically starting/stopping traces (not an issue for your agents outside the firewall)

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 or 6.2 component startup on a single server (host system) example follows this sequence:
1. The Warehousing Proxy starts first: port 6014 (1918 + 1*4096)
2. The remote TEMS starts second: port 1918 (always reserved for TEMS)
3. The Windows OS Agent starts third: port 10110 (1918 + 2*4096)
4. The Universal Agent starts fourth: port 14206 (1918 + 3*4096)

So your agents if warehousing data from outside the firewall would need to have port 6014 open, however it is possible in some circumstances for the WPA to take a different port, so to prevent this you can fix the port with the COUNT and SKIP parameters if this is an issue.
The commonly used convention is to get the Data Warehouse Agent to use port 6014 and to ensure that no other ITM agents on the box where the Data Warehouse Agent are running use port 6014

Ensuring that the Data Warehouse Agent only uses port 6014 is done by coding the configuration parameter KDC_FAMILIES=IP.PIPE COUNT:1 for the Data Warehouse Agent. Ensuring that port 6014 is not used by other components is done by coding the configuration parameter KDC_FAMILIES=IP.PIPE SKIP:2 for any TEMAs that are running on the same box as the Data Warehouse Agent. If you perform these configuration tasks then you can be assured that port 6014 will be used by your Data Warehouse Agent and that will be the only port that will need to be opened.

I am assuming we are not talking about TEP clients but Port 15001 is the default port that the TEPS uses for CORBA traffic to its TEP clients. TEP clients use HTTP to set up the Java application, which then uses CORBA IOR between client and server over port 15001.

Finally, each component binds a random TCP port on the loopback address. Since the loopback address is not accessible outside the server there are no firewall considerations for these ports. The components issue a select on their respective loopback ports to monitor for shutdown requests.

The ports 1918 and 6014 will normally need to be open across the firewall. If all your agents are on the public side of the firewall and all these agents report to a single TEMS, then only one port needs to be permitted: 1918. You would open 6014 for warehousing.

The firewall KDE Gateway function is for more complex firewall environments that use NAT,
and were agents traverse multiple firewalls.

Here is the list of key 6.1 component's port assignments

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 Component Listening Port
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (IP.PIPE) 1918/TCP
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (IP.SPIPE) 3660/TCP
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (IP) 1918/udp
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server 1920/TCP - 15001/TCP
Tivoli Enterprise Console 5529/TCP
Tivoli Warehouse Proxy agent 6014/tcp1

Tip: Do not deviate from the default listening ports without a valid reason, even though this is supported. Listening port modification was not tested by IBM Tivoli Software Group. .

Why do my events not show up in the Situation Events Console (SEC) when the situation fires?

Question
Why do my events not show up in the Situation Events Console (SEC) when the situation fires?

Answer

Have you associated the situation with a managed system in the
navigator tree?



HOW TO ASSOCIATE A SITUATION WITH A MANAGED SYSTEM


Can you please check that you have associated the situation with the
agent/managed system in the navigator tree.

You can do this by expanding the tree to the agent the situation is
running against. The expand the agent to see the attributes (disk,
Memory, etc )

If you situation is running against the disc attribute for instance,
click on Disk, then right click on Disc to open a menu.

Select the situations option

This will open a new window.

By default the window displays situations Associated with this
attribute (in this case Disc)

If your situation is not listed then you need to associate it with the
attribute to do this follow the below:-


Click on the icon in the top left of the window named "Set Situation
Filter Criteria"

Another smaller box will appear, check the option "Eligible for
Association"

then click OK.

Now find you situation in the list of situations on screen.

Click once to highlight the situation, then right click on the
situation. This will again bring up a menu. Select the "Associate"
option to associate the situation.

The situation must be associated to the attribute level of an agent for
the notification symbols to propagate up the tree and for an event to
appear in the console when an event is raised.

New to Tivoli Monitoring?

I'll assume you're a new recruit to your IT company and you now must start working with a product called IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM).

Where to start? What to do?

In a (very brief) nutshell, ITM is one of a series of Tivoli products. The entire Tivoli suite is designed to help companies manage and understand the various pieces of computer technology they use. ITM manages the servers and applications that the company uses. Remember Mission control in the movie Apollo 13? Well, they were using NASA specific systems, but the analogy holds - they were using a product which monitors and controls the spacecraft, just like ITM does to the servers.

First day on the job, someone has given you a welcome speech, shown you your chair and you've scribbled your user/password on a note.
What now? How to find information about ITM?

There are three types of websites which will help you
1. IBM documentation
2. Forums
3. Personal / Company websites

The first places you should go are

* http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v15r1/index.jsp?toc=/com.ibm.itm.doc/toc.xml
Here you'll find the basic documentation. Especially click on Understanding -> Exploring IBM Tivoli Monitoring
* ITM "homepage" in IBM's website
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/monitor/
* As well as documentation, IBM also publishes Redbooks - which are in depth "how-to" books.
For example : End-to-End Planning for Availability and Performance Monitoring or
Implementation and Performance Optimization for Large Scale Environments
The main website for the redbooks is at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/

There are two main public forums for ITM

* IBM's Developerworks site
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=796
* TME10 Mailing list (This is also on developerworks)
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/sysmgmt/products/support/TME10.html

Finding unassociated Situations

Finding unassociated Situations: "

In ITM, after you have created a new situation, you must do two things to it:

1. You must distribute it to one or more agents. This will determine where a situation runs. i.e you can limit it to specific servers or run it on all of them.
2. Associate it with some node in a tree in the TEP Portal. This is so that when the situation activates (fires, become true) you will see it in the portal console.

The problem then starts when you want to be sure that all your situations have been distributed and associated properly. The first problem is simpler - you can use a SOAP call on the TEMS to fish out the list of situations and their distributions. The second problem is slightly more complex. The TEPS database hold the list of all situations and associations - but a list of unassociated situations - which are the ones which will not show up even if they become true.

Recently I was at a customer and needed to verify that all situations were indeed associated. I remember seeing something that showed this, but my searching skills betrayed me and I wrote this out quickly. If anyone does have a link- feel free to send it.

Being a quick-and-dirty job (and being rusty with my Perl), this script will only work on the environment it was written for - Windows/SQLServer, but it should be easy to convert
Also, I committed the crime of using system calls in Perl, instead of SOAP and SQL calls embedded in the code - so sue me :)

#!/user/local/bin/perl
# This script will list situations which exist but are not associated with any portal navigator item.
# It is limited to Windows systems running SQLServer, but can easily be modified for any OS/DB combination. :)
# Part 1 - list all situations from TEMS
# Part 2 - list all situation associations from TEPS
# Part 3 - Find which situations exist in part 1 but not part 2

my $sSitListFile = "SitList.txt";
my $sSitAssocFile = "SitAssocList.txt";
my $sTEMSHOST = "x.x.x.x";
my $sTEMSUser = "xxxxxx"
my $sTEMSPassword = "xxxxxx";
my $sTEPSHOST = "x.x.x.x";
my $sTEPSUser = "xxxxxx"
my $sTEPSPassword = "xxxxxx";

# Part 1
#  login to TEMS and pull out a list of situations

system ("tacmd login -s " . $sTEMSHOST . " -u " . $sTEMSUser . " -p " . $sTEMSPassword);
if (-e $sSitListFile) {
    unlink ($sSitListFile);
}

#Run tacmd listsit and extract the first  string from each line.
# NOTE: This line must be modified if you are using situation names with spaces in the middle (ITM 6.2.1+)
system ("for /f %i in ('tacmd listsit') do \@echo %i >> " . $sSitListFile);
open (File, $sSitListFile ) || die "Could not open " . $sSitListFile ."\n";

while (<File>) { #Strip any \n or spaces from the situation string
    chop;
    $tmp = $_;
    $tmp =~ s/^\s+//;
    $tmp =~ s/\s+$//;
    push(@arrAllSits, $tmp );
}
close (File);

# Part 2
# login to TEPS database and pull out the situation associations.
if (-e $sSitAssocFile) {
    unlink ($sSitAssocFile);
}
system ("sqlcmd -S " . $sTEPSHOST . " -U " . $sTEPSUser . " -P " . $sTEPSPassword . " -d teps -Q\"select distinct(name) from teps.KFWTMPLSIT\" > " . $sSitAssocFile );
open (File, $sSitAssocFile) || die "Could not open " . $sSitAssocFile . "\n";
while (<File>) { #Strip any \n or spaces from the situation string
    chop;
    $tmp = $_;    
    $tmp =~ s/^\s+//;
    $tmp =~ s/\s+$//;
    push(@arrAssocedSits, $tmp);
}
close (File);

#Part3
%found=();
@arrNotAssoced =();

#build lookup table
foreach $item (@arrAssocedSits) {$found {$item} = 1}

# find elements which are in @arrAllSits and not in @arrAssocedSits
foreach $item (@arrAllSits) {
    unless ($found{$item}) {
        #it's not in %found, so print
        print ($item ."\n");
    }
}

This script will print out the list of situations which exist but are not associated with any navigator item.

Ejercicios de práctica para ITM

Bueno hace ya bastantes días que no ponía nada pero esto sin duda le va a servir a más de uno que talvez no sepa por donde empezar a probar con monitoring:
Ejercicios de práctica para la versión ITM 6.2

Un blog para hablar sobre ITM,TEMS,TEP,TEMAs y demás

Recientemente al buscar información en internet sobre ITM (ibm tivoli monitoring) me dí cuenta que no existe un blog con información clara para alguien que quiera aprender de monitoring (si lo hay cuesta un mundo encontrarlo).
La idea de este blog es ir recopilando datos e info de forma fácil de interpretar que le pueda servir a próximos tivoleros a no tener que empezar desde cero. Asimismo que sea como una base de conocimiento que luego pueda usar de referencia :P jeje...
