In this case, Netcool/Precision TN requires the Netcool Knowledge Library (NKL) rules files for the Multithreaded Trapd probe. If you require these rules files, contact IBM Tivoli Netcool Support.
No modifications to this rules file are required.
TL1 data collection / TL1-TSM
If Netcool/Precision TN collects data from NEs using TL1 data collection and Netcool/OMNIbus receives alerts for the same NEs from its TL1 TSM, Netcool/Precision TN must be able to correlate the alerts in Netcool/OMNIbus with its own entity information gathered using TL1 data collection.
The Netcool Knowledge Library “contributed” tl1.rules file is highly recommended in this case. This rules file is available from IBM Tivoli Netcool Support.
Note: If this web page is unavailable, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool Support page for further details.
One modification to this rules file is required. You must add a line to assign the value of QuotedLine to PtnNative1 (add the line @PtnNative1 = $QuotedLine ). This line must be added to a section of the rules file such that is applied to all alerts except "TSM watch" messages and discarded alerts.
If the NKL tl1.rules file is not used, the following requirements must be met:
•The NE SID must be in the Node column of alerts.status.
•The AlertGroup column must be populated with the alarm's verb, modifiers, and condition type. The verb and modifiers must be separated by spaces and the condition type enclosed in parenthesis. For example "REPT ALM OC3 (LOS)"
•The PtnNative1 column must be populated with the value of $QuotedLine.
