About IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder

Resource models are used at an endpoint to collect and analyze data regarding the state and performance of different resources, such as disks, memory, CPU, or applications. After you create a resource model, you add it to your Tivoli management region.

Pre-existing resource models that were created with IBM Tivoli Monitoring Workbench, Version 5.1.1, can be used with IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder. However, resource models created with IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder are not compatible with former versions of the product.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring provides a set of default resource models. You can use IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder to expand the collection of available resource models according to the requirements of your system.

When you create a resource model, you specify sets of values, such as the following values:

When you create a resource model, you can also specify that the monitoring results must be sent to the Tivoli Enterprise Console server or Tivoli Business Systems Manager. Event notifications enable you to perform more complete management of all your resources.

Settings that you configure are automatically included in the decision tree script. The script contains the settings and the monitoring algorithm that governs the complete process. The monitoring algorithm is developed using either Visual Basic or Java Script and specifies how to use each setting to create the process more suitable to your needs.
