I'm not very familiar with how all of the Patrol components work together.
I'm like you in the sense that "the info that I was given" is that
PatrolView receives the Patrol Alarms from the Patrol Agent running on the
NT or UNIX (AIX/Solaris) server. There is integration between PatrolView
and TEC (I think it's some Tivoli component that allows the Patrol Alarms to
be converted into TEC Events).
Whether or not PatrolView integrates with NetView I do not know. It's not
important to us because we try to keep our NetView limited to managing
network devices, which in our case is about 98% Cisco routers and switches.
Servers are not "allowed" to be managed by our NetView system unless they
are critical to the network, e.g. firewall servers, the NMS servers
themselves, etc.
The TEC is used at the "Enterprise" level by our NOC for notification of
events from ALL event sources. PatrolView is used to view events ONLY from
Patrol agents; the NOC has access to it, but it's primarily for the NT/UNIX
server support staff.

Hi Joel
At present we send our alerts from BMC Patrol to ConnectPatrol which
integrates with Commandpost(BMC,
However the info that I was given is that PatrolView (BMC) gets loaded as a
plugin to Netview/AIX and then is able to receive that alerts. Have I got
the wrong end of the picture ?
Thanks
Vynita Pretorius

We are using Patrol on NT Solaris and AIX servers. There is no direct
integration with NetView, but their is TEC integration. Our long-term plan
is to correlate NetView and Patrol events in TEC.

Subject: [NV-L] Monitoring Servers...
Hello All.
I am running NetView V5.2, AIX 4.3.2.
We have recently been given a mandate to do the following for our servers:
Monitor Availability, Performance, and Utilization.
We have the following types of servers:
AIX, NT, SUN, HP, AS/400
I would like to use NetView as much as possible to do this.
I know what to do for the AIX boxes (i.e. trapgend) but, is anyone out there
monitoring Availability, Performance, and Utilization for NT ??
Any of the others??
Any information appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gord Michaels
