To view monitoring data and events for your IBM®
Tivoli® Monitoring and OMEGAMON® agents in the
Cloud APM console, you must create a managed system
group and install the IBM Cloud Application
Performance Management Hybrid Gateway in your
Tivoli
Monitoring domain, and configure
communications in the Cloud APM console
Hybrid Gateway Manager. Review the
background information to help you plan for installing and configuring one or more Hybrid Gateways in your Tivoli
Monitoring and Cloud
APM environments.
For
a video demonstration of installing and configuring the Hybrid Gateway, and then viewing data from your
hybrid environment in the Cloud APM console, see Integrating with Tivoli Monitoring - Hybrid Gateway.
- Where to install the Hybrid Gateway
- You can install the Hybrid Gateway in one or more Tivoli
Monitoring domains: one hub Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server per domain. For details about where to install the Hybrid Gateway, see the Preparing to install the Hybrid Gateway information. For Hybrid Gateway system requirements, which includes Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server, see the Hybrid Gateway Software Product Compatibility report, Prerequisites tab.
-
Tivoli
Monitoring and OMEGAMON agents in the Cloud APM console
- After you select the
My Components
predefined application or a defined application in the
Application Performance Dashboard that includes Tivoli
Monitoring or OMEGAMON managed systems (or both), you can
see a summary status dashboard of all managed systems and you can see a detailed dashboard of a
single managed system instance. You can also create dashboard pages in
Custom Views tab.
You can view situation events for these agents in the Events tab. However,
you cannot create new thresholds for Tivoli
Monitoring and OMEGAMON agents in the
Threshold Manager. Instead, create new situations in Tivoli
Monitoring.
Not all possible Tivoli
Monitoring and OMEGAMON events are available in the Events
dashboard. Only events from agent nodes that can be added to an application are displayed. For
example, for the Tivoli
Monitoring agent for WebSphere® Application Servers, events that are associated
with a particular server instance are displayed, but events from the agent as a whole are not
displayed.
- View up to 1500 managed systems from each Tivoli
Monitoring domain
- The maximum number of managed systems, including subnodes, that you can view from a Tivoli
Monitoring domain is 1500. By default, the limit is 200
systems. You can plan for supporting an increased amount of systems. For instructions, see Planning for a large number of managed systems.
The limit for all Tivoli
Monitoring domains must be within the maximum supported
by Cloud
APM. For more information see Architecture overview.
- Resource monitoring only
- Resource monitoring is available for your Tivoli
Monitoring agents. For more information about resource
monitoring, see Offerings and add-ons and Capabilities. If you have the IBM
Cloud Application Performance Management, Advanced Private offering, transaction tracking and
diagnostics dashboards are not available for managed systems from your Tivoli
Monitoring environment.
- Tivoli Authorization Policy
Server affects the availability of Tivoli
Monitoring managed systems
- For Tivoli
Monitoring environments that include the Tivoli Authorization Policy
Server, the managed systems that are available through the Hybrid Gateway are affected by the authorization policies. For more information, see Using role-based authorization policies in the Tivoli
Monitoring Knowledge Center.
- Supported Tivoli
Monitoring and OMEGAMON agents
- For a Tivoli
Monitoring agent to be available for
the Hybrid Gateway, it must also be
supported in Cloud
APM, with the exception of the iOS and
OMEGAMON agents. The available

using Agent Builder, you can add support for them to the Cloud
APM environment. For instructions, see Configuring support for custom agents created with Agent Builder.
For a list of OMEGAMON agents that you can display in the
Cloud APM console, see the Getting started topic for your release in the IBM
OMEGAMON for Application Performance Management topic
collection on IBM Knowledge Center.
