Importing resource monitoring data

Resource monitoring data can be imported from your IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) server.

Your ITM server must be configured for historical data collection and to collect the specific data types you require. See the ITM documentation for more information.
To import historical data:
  1. Once your data has been collected and stored in ITM, click File > Import.
  2. In the Import wizard, click Tivoli Resource Monitoring Data and click Next. Note: Only historical data will be imported from the ITM server. The server must be configured for historical data collection.
  3. Enter your Tivoli Enterprise® Monitoring Server (TEMS) information and click Next.
  4. Specify the time period from which to import data. This can be specified as either the start and end times or as the amount of time you specify, counted backward from the time you click Finish. Click Next to continue.

    When specifying the time in a specific number of units, note that, for consistency, "month" is defined as 30 days and "year" is defined as 365 days. "Days" refers to 24-hour periods, not calendar days. The units of time selected are subtracted from the point in time when you click Finish to import the data to give the start time. For example, if you select 2 months, the time period will be the 60 days (24-hour time periods) immediately prior to the point in time that you click Finish.

  5. Specify at least one kind of data to be collected and click Next. Each node beneath your TEMS in the tree represents a machine that is being monitored. Agents are listed in the next level. Agents that are not running or are not supported by the toolkit are not selectable. Selecting an agent will show the different types of data that it can collect. Each data type has specific subtypes that can be collected. These types can be static or dynamic.
  6. Select where to store the data and click Finish to start the import.
