EM 4.2

Components Tab Auto-Populates Available Displays

The tree for the COMPONENTS tab has been enhanced to filter the available displays based on the solution packages hosted by the enabled RTView DataServer connections. When running in an emsample project from a previous release where the tree was customized, this filter will be applied in addition to any customization.

RTView DataServer Integration with EM

RTView DataServers have been enhanced to make it easier to integrate with EM. Previously, to integrate an RTView DataServer with Enterprise Monitor, you had to go into the Central Server configuration, add a connection to the RTView DataServer and then copy over the common properties. With this enhancement, all configuration can be done in the RTView DataServer configuration and reasonable defaults are provided. To simplify deploying via container, all values on the EM Integration tab can be set via environment variable instead of in the Configuration Application. All fields on the EM Integration tab show the Source of the value to the right of the field if the value wasn't specified in the Configuration Application.

Note: This feature is not supported by central servers running in an emsample project created with a previous release. It requires the new RTViewCentral project.

To configure this feature, select the RTView DataServer in the Configuration Application and click on the EM Integration item in the navigation tree. Fill in the following options:

•

Integrate with Enterprise Monitor - If enabled, connect to the Central Server in the RTViewCentral deliverable using the URL in the Central Server URL field, disable local alert notifications (notifications will be handled by the Central server) and get alert thresholds from the Central Server. Note that in order to see your data and alerts in RTViewCentral, you must also add a connection from RTViewCentral to this RTView DataServer either by enabling the "Announce this RTView DataServer to the Central Server" option and filling in the fields below or by going into the RTViewCentral Configuration Application and adding a connection on the RTViewCentral->CONNECTIONS tab. The default for this field is false (0). It can be enabled via this environment variable: RTVDS_INTEGRATEENABLED. For example, RTVDS_INTEGRATEENABLED=1.

•

Central Server URL - The URL to use when connecting to the Central Server in the RTViewCentral installation when Integrate with Enterprise Monitor is enabled. The default is localhost:10018. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_CENTRALURL. For example, RTVDS_CENTRALURL=http://localhost:10070/rtvdata.

•

Announce this RTView DataServer to the Central Server - If enabled, the Central Server will make a connection to the RTView DataServer in order to display data and alerts from this server. The Central Server will use the values from the RTView DataServer Name, RTView DataServer URL, RTView Query URL, RTView DataServer Host and CITypes to exclude fields described below when making its connection to this RTView DataServer. The default is false. You can enable this via this environment variable: RTVDS_ANNUNCIATEENABLED. For example RTVDS_ANNUNCIATEENABLED=1.

•

RTView DataServer Name - The name that the Central Server should use for its connection to this RTView DataServer. This name must be unique within the connections on the Central Server. The default is the Project ID from the General tab. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_NAME. For example, RTVDS_NAME=EMSMON_LOCAL.

•

RTView DataServer URL - The URL that the Central Server should use for its connection to this RTView DataServer. The default depends on the HTML Server Enabled option on the Data Server tab. If the HTML Server is enabled, the default is http://hostname:3270/rtvdata, otherwise it is hostname:3278 where 32 is the Port Prefix for this project and hostname is the RTView Server Host. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_URL. For example, RTVDS_URL=http://myhost:8068/rtvdata.

•

RTView Query URL - The URL that html clients should use to query this RTView DataServer. The default depends on the HTML Server Enabled option on the Data Server tab. If the HTML Server is enabled, the default is http://hostname:3270/rtvquery where 32 is the Port Prefix for this project and hostname is the RTView Server Host, otherwise it is blank. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_QUERYURL. For example, RTVDS_QUERYURL=http://myhost:8068/rtvquery.

•

RTView DataServer Host - The Host name or IP address that the Central Server and html clients should use for connections to this RTView DataServer. The default the IP address for the host. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_HOST. For example, RTVDS_HOST=localhost

•

CITypes to Exclude - The CI Types to exclude from the Service Model in the Central Server. The default is blank which means all CI Types for the configured solution packages are included in the Service Model. You can set the value via this environment variable: RTVDS_CITYPESTOEXCLUDE. For example, RTVDS_CITYPESTOEXCLUDE=BW-ACTIVITIES,BW-PROCESSES.
