Importing IBM Tivoli Monitoring monitor types

Monitor types in Infrastructure Management correspond to IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents. When you import monitor types, the system creates a template file on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Integration Service. You can use this template to import application classes and create adapter instances.

Use the following procedure to import IBM Tivoli Monitoring monitor types.

To import IBM Tivoli Monitoring monitor types

1. Connect to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Integration Service (Connecting-the-adapter-for-IBM-Tivoli-Monitoring-to-the-Integration-Service).
2. Configure an environment on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Integration Service (Configuring an IBM Tivoli Monitoring environment on the Integration Service) and click Next.

3. Select the monitor types that you want to use and the ones you want to delete.

   • A green check mark indicates that the monitor type is to be imported.
   • A green check mark with a lock indicates that the monitor type is in use.
   • A red X mark indicates that the monitor type is marked for deletion.

    

   Tip

   Import all monitor types; you can then edit a single adapter instance to clear groups of application classes, or you can filter out monitor types that you do not need. By importing all the monitor types, you can edit a single adapter instance later, instead of creating a new adapter instance.

4. Click Next, review the summary screen, and click Next again.
