Setting up events for the BPPM monitor adapter

The monitor adapter does not use the mcell.dir file that is local to the BMC Atrium Orchestrator peer. To enable propagation of events from the cells to the gateway, you must make changes to the mcell.dir file on BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management. However, if you need to change the listener port in the monitor adapter configuration, you must also make this change in the mcell.dir file on the BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management server.

To enable propagation of events from BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management cells to the gateway

1. Create the gateway.imcomm file on the BMC ProactiveNet Performanc Management server in the installHome\pw\server\etc directory.
2. Add the following line to define the gateway in the mcell.dir file:

   Example

   gateway.imcomm gw mc 10.10.75.88:1859
   
   The variables are defines as follows:

   • gw: gateway name
   • mc: encryption key
   • 10.10.75.88: IP address of the peer local to BMC Atrium Orchestrator
   • 1859: port on which the monitor adapter listens for events
3. Restart the mcell services.

The following figure illustrates a sample gateway.imcomm file.
