User-Defined Event Information

Operators can access additional user-defined information about a selected event in the Event Viewer, with the selected event passed as context. The additional event information is provided by administrators at your site. Administrators define the content and organization of the information, and configure the Web Server and Event Information Console Preferences.

The console accesses the information using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and shows it in a Web browser.

Tivoli provides sample event information as an example of how to handle requests for additional user-defined event information. This sample event information can serve as a guide from which a comprehensive online system of troubleshooting can be created at your site. Operators can then look up additional information about an event and obtain the action required to resolve the problem.

The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Installation Guide provides additional information about installing the sample event information.
