Integrating NerveCenter with a Network
Management Platform
-
Integrating NerveCenter with IBM NetView for AIX - Using NetView as a node source - Populating NerveCenter's node list using NetView as a node data source -
NerveCenter is able to receive information about some or all of the nodes managed by NetView.
To populate NerveCenter's node list using NetView, you must specify it as a source for the node data. Each NerveCenter database populates its node list from just one network management platform database. Depending on your filtering, the database may contain all the nodes or just a subset. In either case, there is just one source of the information.
To use NetView as a node data source:
Node Source
tab.NerveCenter displays the Node Source page.
Machine Name
field, type either the name or the IP address of a host that runs NetView.
For example, if you have NetView running on a machine named Norm, you would
type the name Norm
or its IP address in the Machine Name field.
If the Machine Name field is left blank, NerveCenter does not retrieve nodes from any platform.
Port
field, type the number of the port used to communicate with the platform adapter process on the host. The default is 6024.The platform adapter must be configured to listen on the same port specified in this field.
Save
.NerveCenter will now retrieve its initial node data from NetView's database.
