Telemetry Channels workspace

The Telemetry Channels workspace provides definition parameters about telemetry channels of a queue manager. Use this workspace to review channel performance and modify channel attributes when resolving problems.

Predefined views

The Telemetry Channels workspace includes the following predefined views:

  • Telemetry Channels This view contains a table summarizing the properties of the selected queue manager's monitored telemetry channels. Select a channel from this list to review and edit its definition parameters. If your system has a high volume of traffic, or uses different types of queues or different message priorities, you might need to define multiple channels to handle this. Additionally, editing these parameters is often crucial to resolving problems.
  • Channel Definitions Summary This view shows, as a bar chart, the total number of active and inactive channels of each type defined on the selected queue manager.

For more information on the attributes listed in the tables of this workspace, see Telemetry Channels attributes.

Remember: You cannot create a situation directly from this workspace by right-clicking the navigator item. To create a situation for the attributes in this workspace, perform the following steps:
  1. Open the Situation editor from the main toolbar on Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.
  2. Create a situation template. This step involves defining the condition, distributing the situation, specifying the action, and writing expert advice.
  3. Associate the situation template with the desired navigator item and specify the sound and state options for the situation.
  4. Apply the situation to the distributed managed systems.
For detailed instructions about how to create a situation and associate a situation, see IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide.
