Integrating Applications into ITO
Integrating Applications into ITO
ITO has predefined conditions in the opcmsg(1|3) template that allow
it to integrate the MeasureWare alarming functionality into ITO. The
opcmsg template defines the messages that can come from the
MeasureWare agent, together with the operator-initiated action that
starts PerfView.
To enable the PerfView/MeasureWare integration on an ITO agent, do
the following:
1. Assign the opcmsg(1|3) template to all managed nodes.
2. Distribute the [Commands] and [Templates] components to the
managed nodes.
To enable the GlancePlus integration, do the following:
❏ Distribute the [Commands] components to the managed nodes.
For more information, see the HP OpenView MeasureWare Agent User’s
Manual and the online help for HP PerfView and HP GlancePlus.
Integrating PerfView 4.0 and MeasureWare Agents
PerfView 3.0 integration is based on the logfile encapsulation of
PerfView’s alarm log database (logfile
PerfView , template group
Perfview ).With PerfView 4.0, the PerfView agent is replaced by
MeasureWare software called PCS (Performance Collection Software).
This software uses unique alarm definitions, which send alarms to the
performance manager system. It is possible to configure the software to
send:
❏ additional SNMP Traps in case of an alarm
❏ an ITO message via opcmsg(1|3)
ITO has predefined conditions in the opcmsg(1|3) template that allow
it to use MeasureWare functionality on the ITO agent. To run the
PerfView 4.0/MeasureWare integration on an ITO Agent, first install
PerfView for all managed nodes monitored by PerfView/ITO, then
perform the following steps:
1. Assign the opcmsg(1|3) template to all managed nodes.
2. Distribute the [Commands] and [Templates] components to the
managed nodes.
3. Assign the PerfView 4.0/MeasureWare application to the appropriate
operators.
