Change CEI configuration settings

Use this page to view and change the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) configuration properties for a specific monitor model.

To view this administrative console page, click Applications > Monitor Models > model_name > Change CEI Configuration.

These values are applicable for all versions of the monitor model. If Security is enabled on the CEI server, you update the user ID and password on this page.

Location

For stand-alone servers, select Local if CEI is installed on the stand-alone IBM® Business Monitor server. For network deployment servers, select Local if CEI is installed in the same cell as IBM Business Monitor.

For stand-alone servers, select Remote if CEI is installed on a different server. For network deployment servers, select Remote if CEI is installed in a cell other than the cell that contains IBM Business Monitor. If you select Remote, you must also enter the host name and RMI port.

Host name for stand-alone server or deployment manager

Enter the host name of the stand-alone server, or the host name of the deployment manager where CEI is installed.

The host name can be specified as localhost if the CEI server is installed on the same physical machine as the IBM Business Monitor server.

RMI port for stand-alone server or deployment manager

Enter the RMI port number of the stand-alone server or the RMI port number of the deployment manager where CEI is installed.

To determine the RMI port number, click Servers > Server Types > Application servers > server_name > Ports > BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS in the administrative console.

Security

Select Enabled if security is enabled on the CEI server. Select Disabled if security is not enabled.

If you select Enabled, enter a user ID and password that is valid for the IBM Business Monitor server. The user ID must also exist on the remote CEI server, although the password can be different on the remote server.

Note: If security is enabled on the CEI server, global security must also be enabled on the IBM Business Monitor server. You will not be able to configure CEI if global security is disabled.

User ID

Specifies a user name that exists on both the IBM Business Monitor server and the CEI server. This field is required if security is enabled.

Password

Specifies the password for the user name on the IBM Business Monitor server. This field is required if security is enabled.

Refresh List

Click this button to get an updated list of Event profile list names from the specified CEI server.

Event group profile list name

Displays an event group profile list name that is defined on the CEI server. The default value is typically used. To view the definitions of this list on the CEI server, click Service Integration > Common Event Infrastructure > Event Service > Event Services.
