BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server forwarding configuration files

bem.cfg

BEMSeverityMappings.properties

eye_event.baroc

bem-connections.cfg

Entuity forwarding events and incidents to BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server uses the following configuration files:

• bem.cfg
  
  • during configure, you define the connection between Entuity and the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server server using bem.cfg.
• BEMSeverityMappings.properties
  
  • map the different event severity levels of the two sets of software using BEMSeverityMapping.properties.
• sw_bem_menu_def.cfg
  • map Entuity event fields to TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server slots, using existing slots or ones created for Entuity, using sw_bem_def.cfg.
• eye_event.baroc
  
  • define the Entuity event class using eye_event.baroc.
• bem-connections.cfg
  
  • use bem-connections.cfg to configure additional TrueSight Infrastructure Management Servers and cells to forward incidents and events.

bem.cfg

bem.cfg is automatically generated by configure. It defines the connection between Entuity and the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server cell.

[connection]
cellname=entuity
webServerHostName=decade
webServerPortNumber=9080
webServiceName=ImpactManager
refreshCache=3600

where:

• Cellname, the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server instance to which Entuity forwards events.
• webServerHostName, hostname of the server where the BMC II Web Services Server is located.
• webServerPortNumber, the port number used by the BMC II Web Services Server, by default 9080.
• webServiceName, the name of the web service, by default ImpactManager.
• refreshCache is the time in seconds that the integration slots are maintained in memory by Entuity, after which Entuity automatically initiates a refresh of the list. The default value is 3600.

BEMSeverityMapping.properties

BEMSeverityMapping.properties maps Entuity event severity levels to TrueSight Operations Management event severity levels:

EYE_SEVERITY_CRITICAL=BEM_SEVERITY_CRITICAL
EYE_SEVERITY_SEVERE=BEM_SEVERITY_MAJOR
EYE_SEVERITY_MAJOR=BEM_SEVERITY_MINOR
EYE_SEVERITY_MINOR=BEM_SEVERITY_WARNING
EYE_SEVERITY_INFO=BEM_SEVERITY_OK

eye_event.baroc

eye_event.baroc defines the Entuity event class for use in the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. Each element within the definition is a slot. This example creates the additional fields required to manage Entuity event information in the sample integration:

MC_EV_CLASS :
EYE_EVENT ISA EVENT
DEFINES
{
mc_object: dup_detect=yes;
mc_tool_id: dup_detect=yes;
eye_userId: STRING;
eye_impact_descr: STRING;
eye_stormworks_id: STRING;
eye_comp_id: STRING;
eye_event_group: STRING, dup_detect=yes;
eye_event_id: STRING, dup_detect=yes;
};
END

bem-connections.cfg

When you want to forward events and incidents to more than one TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server, you define the additional connections in entuity_home\etc\bem-connections.cfg. Entuity includes an example connections file, entuity_home\etc\bem-connections-example.cfg, which you can rename to
bem-connections.cfg and then amend its connection details.

The default connection remains the connection defined through configure and stored in bem.cfg. In order to use the additional connections, you must specify them by name.

It defines the connection between Entuity and the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server cell.

[connection C1]
cellname=entuity
webServerHostName=decade
webServerPortNumber=9080
webServiceName=ImpactManager

where:

• connection is the connection name referred to when specifying where the BMC Event Manager action forwards events and incidents.
• Cellname, the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server instance to which Entuity forwards events.
• webServerHostName, hostname of the server where the BMC II Web Services Server is located.
• webServerPortNumber, the port number used by the BMC II Web Services Server, by default 9080.
• webServiceName, the name of the web service, by default ImpactManager.
• refreshCache is the time in seconds that the integration slots are maintained in memory by Entuity, after which Entuity automatically initiates a refresh of the list. The default value is 3600.
