The following figure shows an example of the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console
product and Tivoli Management Framework component relationships in a network
with endpoints.
How Events Get to the Event Server From a Managed Node
For network management OpenView adapters, events are sent from the managed
node adapter directly to the event server using a TME interface. In other words,
the oserv of the managed node that the adapter runs on sends the event to the
oserv of the event server when these are separate nodes, which then forwards it on
to the event server process.
For the UNIX log file, OS/2, Windows, Windows NT, and SNMP TME adapters, a
managed node must also be configured as an endpoint to send events to the event
server.
How Events Get to the Event Server From a Non-TME Adapter
A non-TME adapter sends events directly to the event server using an IP socket.
Internationalization Support for Events
By default, the following log file adapters send their events to the event server in
UTF-8 encoding:
v UNIX log file adapter
v NetWare log file adapter
v OS/2 log file adapter
v Windows event log adapter
v Windows NT event log adapter
To change the default configuration of these adapters so they send events in the
encoding of the event server host instead of UTF-8, the Pre37Server and
Pre37ServerEncoding configuration file options are provided. See page 12 for
additional information about these options.
