Course Description
The installation, use, customization, integration of Tivoli Network Manager 4.2 with Network Operations Insight, & network monitoring using Network Manager pollers are all covered in this course. About 40% of the workshop's exercises are lectures & 60% are hands-on activities. A fundamental overview of product components & their related functions opens the workshop. You execute a complete network discovery of simulated networks & setup Tivoli Network Manager. You can alter the behaviour of finders & agents to further understand the subtleties of the discovery cycle. You also learn how to use the reporting features of IBM Tivoli Network Manager, manage polling behaviour, join isolated networks through manual map editing, & construct real-time MIB graphs. Additionally, you pick up how to use the Network Health Dashboard & make your own dashboards.

FAQs
A service level management (SLM) system called Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus provides real-time, centralised monitoring of complicated networks & IT domains.
The Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus information can be customised to meet your organization's needs. It can be used to transmit data to help desk systems, log information in databases, replicate data on distant systems, & start automatic replies in response to specific occurrences, for instance.
Additionally, Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus may combine data from several domain-limited network management platforms in distant locations. Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus reduces implementation time by integrating with already-existing management systems & apps, allowing staff to continue using their current network management abilities.
Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus tracks alert information in a high-performance, in-memory database, & presents information of interest to specific users through filters & views that can be configured individually. Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus has automation functions that can perform intelligent processing on managed alerts.
