Global Console tasks  Monitoring e-Biz Impact

Chapter 3: Using the Global Console

Connecting and logging in to an e-Biz Impact server

To start the monitoring process, connect the agent and log in to the e-Biz Impact server where the clusters that you want to monitor reside.

Once a connection is established, the agent monitors the e-Biz Impact server by representing the data received from the server MIB (Management Information Base) through SNMP.

NoteThe MIB is similar to a schema for published data. The MIB describes how the data is published; for example, organization and data types. The e-Biz Impact MIB file is Impact8.my, which is located in x:\Sybase\ImpactServer-5_4\snmp on Windows and in ~/Sybase/ImpactServer-5_4/snmp/ on UNIX, where “x” and “~” represent the drive, directory, or file system where the e-Biz Impact server is installed.

StepsConnecting an agent to an e-Biz Impact server

  1. In the Global Console on Windows, select the agent in the tree view.

  2. Right-click the selected agent and select All Tasks | Connect.

  3. To automatically connect an agent when you start the Global Console, select the Reconnect at Startup option on the agent properties General tab.

When an agent connection is established, the e-Biz Impact server bus structure displays in the main window.

StepsLogging in to a e-Biz Impact server

To execute commands on the applications contained in the cluster, you must log in to the e-Biz Impact server.

  1. Right-click the cluster icon in the tree view and select Login.

  2. Enter the user ID and password associated with a user that is defined in the Authorization database.

If the agent is unable to connect, an error appears, indicating the source of the problem. Check to see if the agent properties, such as community string or port number, are valid, and verify that SNMP service is started on the server.

NoteIf you are using e-Biz Impact security, operators can execute only the commands for which their security role is authorized. See the e-Biz Impact Authorization Guide for more information. See the e-Biz Impact Command Line Tools Guide for more information about CNC requests.
