When the Tivoli® Enterprise
Monitoring Server has EIF Event Integration enabled, and data arrives
from agents at a rapid pace, multiple rows of data either get put
in a single event going to the event receiver or they get discarded.
You can use the following procedure to configure the monitoring server to
support one event per row of pure data. This ensures that when multiple
rows of data arrive from the agent in quick succession, they are not
concatenated into a single event; each row of data will generate a
corresponding event.
Procedure
- Create a file KPXATRGP on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server in the
following directory:
- $CANDLEHOME\CMS (C:\IBM\ITM\CMS) for Windows systems.
- $CANDLEHOME/tables/ for UNIX systems.
- Add the entries for pure event tables in the format <application-name>.<table-name>
followed by a new line, for example:
KNT.NTEVTLOG
TES00.TES123450
- Always restart the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server after adding a new entry to this file.
Results
This enables the feature for pure event tables only. Each
row of data from the agent will result in an event. You should verify
that all events from the agents show up in the EIF cache file or Event
Server. The feature cannot be enabled for sample events. If there
is a constant high volume of data from the agents, enabling this feature
for all pure event tables will slow down the
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server performance.
If you want to enable this feature you must enable it on all Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Servers (hub and remote) in the environment.
