Remote Monitoring Agents Out of the box option for remote monitoring
– Remote Agents integrate directly into the TEP like any other agent– Each system appears and is treated individually even though they
are monitored by a single agent
Standard protocols leveraged– Windows OS Monitoring - SNMP or WMI Based Monitoring– AIX OS Monitoring - SNMP Based Monitoring– HP OS Monitoring - SNMP Based Monitoring– Linux OS Monitoring - SNMP Based Monitoring– Solaris OS Monitoring - SNMP or CIM Based Monitoring
Key Operating System Metrics Returned– Logical and Physical Disk Utilization– Network Utilization– Vertical and Physical Memory– System Level Information– Individual and Aggregate Processor Utilization– Process Availability
Out Of the Box Situations for– Disk Utilization
– Memory Utilization
– CPU Utilization
– Network Utilization
Additional metrics provided by each agent – Relevant to the operating system monitored

Sub-node agents One agent can represent more than
one monitored entity– Multiple remote systems in one agent
– Multiple instances of an application
One agent can represent different types of entities
– Build one agent which can monitor different sets of data on different systems
– Consolidate monitoring definition (fewer agent types and instances)
– More flexibility in TEP display and data collection
– Allows ITM 5 users to mimic profiles/profile managers

Script and Log Usability Enhancements Make use of Script and Log
file data sources much easier
Adds build-time test and automatic data source definition
Script– Execute script from the builder
– Build attribute list automatically
– Re-execute changed script, re-parse for format changes
Log– Parse sample log file in the
builder
– Build attribute list automatically
– Re-parse log file when definition changes

CIM Data Provider
Using the browser, point and click to select which CIM classes to collect
Supports collection of arbitrary CIM data
Includes friendly browse of the data from local or remote systems
Allows connections to:– Pegasus– Open CIMOM– IBM Director– Etc. (uses common XML over HTTP
protocol)
