The Web GUI component

The Web GUI is a web-based application that processes network events from one or more data sources and presents the event data to users in various graphical formats in a web browser. Certain data can also be displayed on supported mobile devices.

The Web GUI contains most features of the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus desktop components. The Web GUI extends the event visualization and management capabilities of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus by being both highly configurable and remotely accessible through the Internet.

The Web GUI uses a client-server architecture. The Web GUI server runs inside Tivoli Integrated Portal. Clients connect to Tivoli Integrated Portal to access the Web GUI. The Web GUI can be configured for integrations with other Tivoli products.

The Web GUI can be deployed in a load balancing environment with an IBM DB2 relational database. The license for Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus contains an entitlement to download, install, and deploy the DB2 database in a load balancing environment.
