Chapter 1. Understanding Adapters Event adapters are software programs that collect information, perform local filtering, and convert relevant events into a format that can be used by the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product. Because adapters are located on or near their event sources and can perform local filtering of events, the adapters create a minimal amount of additional network traffic. Adapters use a minimal amount of system resources to perform their functions. Network management appli

bundles them up and forwards them on to an event server. A TME interface is used for communications. The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console gateway uses a connection-oriented service to the server by default. A connection-oriented service means that a connection is established when the adapter is initialized and the connection is maintained for all events to be sent. The IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console gateway runs on the same managed node as the Tivoli Management Framework gateway that is providing th

The following figure shows an example of the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product and Tivoli Management Framework component relationships in a network with endpoints. How Events Get to the Event Server From a Managed Node For network management OpenView adapters, events are sent from the managed node adapter directly to the event server using a TME interface. In other words, the oserv of the managed node that the adapter runs on sends the event to the oserv of the event server when these are se

The event server can receive events in both UTF-8 encoding or the encoding of the event server host. The event server automatically determines the type of encoding (UTF-8 or non-UTF-8) of an event by evaluating a particular flag in the event data. The adapter automatically reads the format file from the appropriate directory. If the adapter is sending events to an event server running a version earlier than the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console 3.7 product, the format files in the localization direc
