Setting up events for the BMC TrueSight Operations Management monitor adapter


The monitor adapter does not use the mcell.dir file that is local to the TrueSight Orchestration 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 TrueSight Operations 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 TrueSight Operations Management server in the installHome\pw\server\etc directory.
  2. Add the following line to define the gateway in the mcell.dir file:

    Information
    Example

    gateway.imcomm gw mc 10.10.75.88:1859

    The variables are defined as follows:

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

The following figure illustrates a sample gateway.imcomm file.
