Book description

IBM® Netcool® Operations Insight empowers your IT operations to use real-time and historical analytics to identify, isolate, and resolve problems before they affect your business. Powered by IBM Tivoli® Netcool/OMNIbus and the transformative capabilities of cognitive analytics, Netcool Operations Insight consolidates millions of alerts from across local, cloud, and hybrid environments into a few actionable problems.
This IBM Redbooks® publication gives a broad understanding of Netcool Operations Insight and describes several scenarios that show the capabilities of this solution in a real-life environment. Each scenario features a different capability of Netcool Operations Insight. The scenarios are documented by using step-by-step figures with explanations to make them easier to implement in your own environment.

The scenarios in this book are broken into the following categories:
- Network Management-related scenarios
- Network Event and cognitive-related scenarios
- Network Event-related scenarios

The target audience of this book is network specialists, network administrators, and network operators.
