1.5.1 Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (monitoring server)
The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (referred to as the monitoring server) is
the key component on which all other architectural components depend directly.
The monitoring server acts as a collection and control point for alerts received
from agents, and collects their performance and availability data.
The monitoring server is responsible for tracking the heartbeat request interval
for all Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agents connected to it. The monitoring server
stores, initiates, and tracks all situations and policies, and is the central
repository for storing all active conditions on every Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Agent. Additionally, it is responsible for initiating and tracking all generated
actions that invoke a script or program on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent.
