About event storage

Event and alert data is stored in the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. The ObjectServer is a high-speed, in-memory event database at the center of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus.

Network Manager is one among many possible applications that feed events to the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus ObjectServer. Each of these applications is called an event source Other event sources can include Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus probes and monitors, Tivoli Business Service Manager, and other event management systems.

The ObjectServer receives and stores events from event sources. It eliminates duplicate events. The ObjectServer also correlates events by removing, for example, matching pairs of problem and resolution events.
