Netcool/OMNIbus Configuration Settings      Inform Data Sent from NerveCenter

Inform Messages

Inform messages, like all other NerveCenter and Netcool/OMNIbus communications, use the TCP protocol. For every inform, the probe establishes a secure socket connection with the NerveCenter Universal Platform Adapter. All messages share a format consisting of a timestamp, a common header, and message data specific to the type of message.

NerveCenter has predefined variables that it sends to the probe when processing an inform action. You can run the probe in debug mode to confirm that the probe is receiving the correct data from NerveCenter.

This appendix contains the following sections:

• Inform Data Sent from NerveCenter

  Lists and describes the variables sent with NerveCenter inform messages.

• Debug Probe Output

  Describes how you can confirm that the probe is correctly processing NerveCenter informs.
