For information about how to use filtering keywords to send, cache, and discard events, see “Event Filtering” on page 14.

This keyword is optional.

getport_timeout_seconds

Specifies the number of seconds to wait before re-sending the UDP call for a port, if no response is heard. It re-transmits until the RPC call times out. The default value is zero (0) seconds.

getport_timeout_usec

Specifies the number of microseconds to add to the seconds specified with the getport_timeout_seconds keyword. The default value is 50 000 microseconds.

getport_total_timeout_seconds

Specifies the number of seconds to wait on getting a port after making a all to the portmapper. The default value is zero (0) seconds.

getport_total_timeout_usec

Specifies the number of microseconds to add to the seconds specified with the getport_total_timeout_seconds keyword. The default value is 50 000 microseconds.

NO_UTF8_CONVERSION

Specifies whether to encode event data in UTF-8. When this options is set to YES, the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product does not encode event data in UTF-8. The data is assumed to already be in UTF-8 encoding when passed to the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product. It does, however, prepend the flag indicating that the data is in UTF-8 encoding if the flag does not exist at the beginning of the event data.

The default value for this option is NO.

Pre37Server

Specifies whether the adapter is to send its events in the encoding of the event server host or in UTF-8 encoding. Event server host versions earlier than the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.7 product do not support UTF-8 encoding of events. When set to YES, this keyword disables UTF-8 encoding and allows the adapter to communicate with event server host versions earlier than the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.7 product. When this keyword is set to NO, the adapter sends events in UTF-8 encoding. The values are not case-sensitive. The default is NO.

When this keyword is set to YES, you must also specify the

Pre37ServerEncoding keyword.

Pre37ServerEncoding

Determines which language to use when a non-TME adapter communicates with a non-UTF-8 event server host (versions earlier than the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.7 product). This keyword is active only when Pre37Server is set to YES. This keyword only applies to the log file adapters (UNIX, NetWare, OS/2, Windows, and Windows NT).

RetryInterval

When ConnectionMode=connection_oriented, and the connection to the event server is lost, an adapter waits the specified number of seconds before connecting to a secondary server or buffering the events. While the adapter is waiting for the expiration of this interval, no new events are processed by the adapter.

Enterprise Console specifications

IBM Enterprise Console is a robust solution designed to centralize and streamline IT operational monitoring and management. As organizations increasingly rely on complex IT infrastructures, including cloud services, on-premise systems, and hybrid environments, the need for an effective monitoring tool has become paramount. IBM Enterprise Console addresses these needs by providing a comprehensive view of IT operations, enabling organizations to respond to incidents with agility and precision.

One of the key features of IBM Enterprise Console is real-time monitoring. The solution offers a single pane of glass through which IT teams can observe the performance of various systems and applications. This capability allows organizations to detect and respond to incidents promptly, minimizing downtime and ensuring that services remain available for end users. The console integrates seamlessly with multiple data sources, allowing for the aggregation of alerts, events, and logs from diverse IT environments.

Another significant aspect of IBM Enterprise Console is its automation capabilities. The platform supports automated workflows and incident management processes, helping to reduce the workload on IT teams. Automation not only enhances efficiency but also ensures consistency in incident response. By leveraging predefined rules and actions, organizations can standardize their operational protocols, leading to faster resolution times and improved service quality.

The IBM Enterprise Console utilizes advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to enhance operational insights. Machine learning algorithms can help identify patterns and anomalies in system performance, allowing organizations to anticipate potential issues before they escalate into critical incidents. This proactive approach to IT monitoring not only improves reliability but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement across the organization.

Security features are also integrated into the IBM Enterprise Console, allowing for the monitoring of security incidents alongside IT operations. This unified approach helps organizations to respond more effectively to security threats, enabling them to correlate operational and security data for a comprehensive view of their infrastructure.

In conclusion, IBM Enterprise Console stands out as a powerful tool for IT operations management. Its real-time monitoring, automation capabilities, advanced analytics, and integrated security features make it an ideal solution for organizations looking to enhance operational efficiency and responsiveness. By leveraging this technology, businesses can ensure that their IT environments remain stable, secure, and aligned with their strategic goals.
