Use attributes to create situations that monitor for specific alerts or types of alerts. For example, you can create situations that monitor for alerts with a specific severity. When the values for attributes of alerts relayed to a Tivoli Enterprise Management Server match the values you specify in situations, the managed objects associated with the situations change appearance, alerting you to problems. When building situations, specify attributes using the following format. Column names, table names and application names are case-sensitive:
Group_Name.Attribute_Name
IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Applications: Siebel Agent provides a variety of default workspaces. A table view within a workspace corresponds to a group of attributes; the columns in the table view correspond to the attributes available for the creation of situations. Note that any attribute value that cannot be collected by the agent is displayed as N/A, and any attribute value that is greater than 2,147,483,647 is displayed as 2,147,483,647.
