Event Manager integrations

In addition to the default integrations that are provided by IBM Cloud Pak® for AIOps, you can configure optional integrations in the form of probes to get events, topology, and metrics by using administrator processes.

Probes connect to an event source, detect, and acquire event data, and forward the data to the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer as events. Probes use the logic that is specified in a rules file to manipulate the event elements before adding that data into the fields of an event in the ObjectServer alerts.status table.

They can acquire data from any stable data source, including devices, databases, and log files. Some probes are uniquely designed to acquire event data from a specific source, while other more generic probes (for example, the Message Bus Probe) can be configured to integrate with various sources.

The IBM® Netcool® Operations Insight® Event Integrations Operator can deploy multiple integrations, for example: it can run instances of the Probe for Prometheus and the Probe for Turbonomic Integration. For more information about IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, see Operators .
