IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, Version 7.4

Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus components

The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus components work together to collect and manage network event information.

The components of Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus are:

The ObjectServer
Probes
Gateways
Desktop tools
Administration tools
The Web GUI visualization component

The following figure shows an overview of the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus component architecture. Probes send alerts to the local ObjectServer, and a gateway replicates these alerts in an additional ObjectServer in a failover configuration. Alerts that are sent to the ObjectServer can be viewed in the Active Event List in the Web GUI, or in the desktop event list. Additional gateways are also configured to forward alerts to other applications, such as a helpdesk or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, and a relational database management system (RDBMS). Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator (and the other administration tools) can also be used to configure and manage the system.
