Tivoli BSM Common Listener (ASICommonListener)
The Common Listener provides a scalable infrastructure for the integration of
product instrumentation into IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager. Data is sent
by monitoring product to the Common Listener, which updates the IBM Tivoli
Business Systems Manager database.
More discussion about the Common Listener with IBM Tivoli Monitoring is
provided in Chapter 8, “IBM Tivoli Monitoring integration” on page 249, and
discussion about the Common Listener with IBM Tivoli NetView is provided in
Chapter 9, “IBM Tivoli NetView integration” on page 279.
Conceptual discussion of the common listener process is given in 2.3,
“Distributed resource feeds” on page 45.
