3.Create Filter and FilterCache statements to match the specific events that you want cached.

v To discard specific events:

1.Set FilterMode to OUT.

2.Create Filter and FilterCache statements to match the specific events that you want discarded.

vTo cache all events (the default behavior):

1.Set FilterMode to OUT.

2.Set BufferEvents to YES.

3.Do not specify any FilterCache statements.

Note: All events are discarded when the configuration is as follows:

1.FilterMode is set to IN.

2.No FilterCache statements are specified.

Event Buffer Filter Examples: The following table shows some event buffer filter examples for a few different adapters:

Adapter

Example

 

 

AS/400 Alert

The following entry matches all events of the

 

SNA_Equipment_Malfunction class from the origin 1.2.3.4:

 

FilterCache:Class=SNA_Equipment_Malfunction;origin=1.2.3.4

 

 

UNIX Log

The following entry matches all events of the Su_Success class from the

File

origin 126.32.2.14:

 

FilterCache:Class=Su_Success;origin=126.32.2.14

 

 

OpenView

The following entry matches all events of the OV_Message class from the

 

origin 126.32.2.14:

 

FilterCache:Class=OV_Message;origin=126.32.2.14

 

 

Windows NT

The following entry matches all events of the NT_Power_Failure class from

 

the origin 126.32.2.14:

 

FilterCache:Class=NT_Power_Failure;origin=126.32.2.14

 

 

BAROC File

Each adapter comes with a BAROC file describing the classes of events the adapter supports. This file is not used by the adapter itself, but serves as a mandatory link between the adapter and the event server. The event server must load this file before it is able to understand events received from the adapter. A BAROC file has an extension of .baroc; see each specific adapter chapter for exact file names. The format of a BAROC file is described in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide.

Example

The following fragment shows how an event class for reporting SNMP authentication problems could be defined in a BAROC file:

CLASS AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE ISA EVENT DEFINES {

source:default="SNMP"; sub_source:default="NET"; auth_source:STRING;

};

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.
