Chapter 4. Integrating with Netcool/OMNIbus 41
SNMP Data Collection / Multi-Threaded Trapd probe
If Netcool/Precision TN collects data from NEs via SNMP and Netcool/OMNIbus receives
alerts for the same NEs from its Multi-Threaded Trapd probe, Netcool/Precision TN must
be able to correlate the alerts in Netcool/OMNIbus with its own entity information
gathered using SNMP.
In this case, Netcool/Precision TN requires the Netcool Knowledge Library (NKL) rules
files for the Multithreaded Trapd probe. If you require these rules files, contact IBM Tivoli
Netcool Support.
No modifications to this rules file are required.
TL1 data collection / TL1-TSM
If Netcool/Precision TN collects data from NEs using TL1 data collection and
Netcool/OMNIbus receives alerts for the same NEs from its TL1 TSM, Netcool/Precision
TN must be able to correlate the alerts in Netcool/OMNIbus with its own entity
information gathered using TL1 data collection.
The Netcool Knowledge Library “contributed” tl1.rules file is highly recommended in
this case. This rules file is available from IBM Tivoli Netcool Support.
Note: If this web page is unavailable, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool Support page for further
details.
One modification to this rules file is required. You must add a line to assign the value of
QuotedLine to PtnNative1 (add the line @PtnNative1 = $QuotedLine ). This line
must be added to a section of the rules file such that is applied to all alerts except "TSM
watch" messages and discarded alerts.
If the NKL tl1.rules file is not used, the following requirements must be met:
• The NE SID must be in the Node column of alerts.status.
•The AlertGroup column must be populated with the alarm's verb, modifiers, and
condition type. The verb and modifiers must be separated by spaces and the condition
type enclosed in parenthesis. For example "REPT ALM OC3 (LOS)"
•The PtnNative1 column must be populated with the value of $QuotedLine.
