Entuity compatibility with BMC TrueSight:

Entuity is certified to run on all versions of BMC TrueSight from TSOM 10.x onwards.

Note, this integration relies on BMC Impact Integration Web Services (IIWS).

To configure the BMC TrueSight Operations Management Events server connection:

You can configure Entuity to forward events and incidents to cells on the BMC TrueSight Operations Management Events server:

1. In configure, specify the following attributes:
   
   

   Attribute	Description
   BMC Cell Name	TrueSight Operations Management Events server instance to which Entuity will forward events or incidents. An administrator can find the cell name by opening <IIWS HOME>\Tomcat\webapps\imws\WEB-INF\etc\mcell.dir and locating the cell definition, e.g.: cell pncell_entuity gateway.pn_server mc entuity:1828
   Web Server Host Name	hostname of the server where the BMC Impact Integration Web Services (IIWS) server is located.
   Web Server Port Number	port number used by the BMC Impact Integration Web Services (IIWS) server, by default 9080.
   Web Service Name	name of the web service, by default ImpactManager.

   
   
   
2. To configure additional servers and cells for incident and event forwarding, go to bem-connections.cfg.  Note, you must always use configure to set the default connection.

To configure the BMC TrueSight Operations Management Events server:

This server configuration:

• allows Entuity to forward events and incidents to specific slots.
• adds Entuity collectors.
• adds cancellation and deduplication rules.
• adds cross-context launch.

To configure the BMC TrueSight Operations Management Events server:

1. Ensure the class, rules and collector files are in the appropriate folders on the TrueSight Operations Management Events server. If you have installed BMC TrueSight Operations Management 10.0.00, BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management 9.6.00, 9.5.00 or 9.0.50 with the Extended Repository, then the class, rules and collector files are already available in the correct folders, in which case proceed to step 2 below.
   
   If you have installed BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management 8.6, then you must copy the following class, rules and collector files to the correct folders:
   
   
   • entuity_home/integ/BEM/server/etc/CELL/kb/classes/eye_event.baroc
     to:
     MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/classes
     
     
   • entuity_home/integ/BEM/server/etc/CELL/kb/rules/ eye_integration.mrl
     to:
     MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/rules
     
     
   • entuity_home/integ/BEM/server/etc/CELL/kb/collectors/ eye_collector.mrl
     to:
     MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/collectors
     
     
   Where:
   • MCELL_HOME is the root of the BMC Server Impact Manager.
   • <CELL_NAME> is the name of the cell that you are forwarding events to.
     
     
2. Amend:
   MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/classes/.load
   to include:
   

   #Integration for Entuity
   EYE_EVENT

3. Update:
   MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/rules/.load
   to include: 
   

   #Integration for Entuity 
   eye_integration

4. Update:
   MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/collectors/.load
   to include: 
   

   #Integration for Entuity 
   collector

5. Open the TrueSight Operations Management Events server Pw command prompt, and from MCELL_HOME/etc/<CELL_NAME>/kb/ run:
   

   mccomp manifest.kb

6. Restart <CELL_NAME>.
