The Web Health Console uses the request manager processor of Tivoli Monitoring. The request manager collects, stores, and manages all endpoint requests created and used by Tivoli Monitoring components (such as the Web Health Console and the heartbeat) and applications.
The request manager acts like a down-call concentrator: it receives all requests (from the various Web Health Console monitors and from the heartbeat processor) and concentrates them into one request to the endpoint. Once the endpoint sends data back, the request manager stores the data in a centralized cache on the gateway. At that point, the Web Health Console monitors and the heartbeat can retrieve the data from the gateway cache.
The following figure shows how the request manager works:

To customize and use the request manager processor, see the corresponding parameters described in the wdmconfig command, Appendix A, Commands.
