BEM monitor adapter

The monitor adapter receives events from BMC Event Manager and other sources, like the msend command, and Impact Integration Web Server (IIWS) on the BEM gateway. You must specify the gateway name, port, and encryption key in the monitor adapter configuration. These elements are the interface to the BEM gateway definitions. Therefore, these elements must match the BEM gateway definitions in the mcell.dir and incomm.conf files to capture the events sent to the monitor adapter.

To use the monitor adapter, you must configure cells to forward events to the gateway in the BMC Impact Administration Server environment. For details about the configuration elements for the monitor adapter, see the Node elements for configuring the monitor adapter table.

The monitor adapter handles the events in the following sequence:

1. The monitor adapter listens on the BEM gateway that is set up on the BEM server to detect and handle events.
2. The rules in the module configuration are then triggered by the event to handle the designed workflow.
