There are just too many Tivoli-related Redbooks.

This page is a modest attempt to extract some useful information from this monstrous number: most Redbooks are only marginally useful and full of IBM-speak, when nothing can be explained without introducing several definitions and providing a couple of useless tables.  Here are links to some Tivoli Redbooks in alphabetical order (borrowed from IBM site in early 2005, not up-to-date):

[Feb 24, 2006] IBM Redbooks Getting Started with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 on Distributed Environments

The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.1 solution is the next generation of the IBM Tivoli family of products that help monitor and manage critical hardware and software in distributed environments. IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 has emerged from the best of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 5 and OMEGAMON technologies. Integration of these products creates a unique and comprehensive solution to monitor and manage both z/OS and distributed environments.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 is easily customizable and provides real-time and historical data that enables you to quickly diagnose and solve issues with the new GUI via the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal component. This common, flexible, and easy-to-use browser interface helps users to quickly isolate and resolve potential performance problems.

This IBM Redbook covers planning, architecture, tuning, implementation, and troubleshooting of IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1. In addition, we offer scenarios for migration from Distributed Monitoring 3.7, and IBM Tivoli Monitoring 5.X coexistence with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1.

This book is targeted for IT specialists who will be working on new IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.1 installations on distributed environments or implementing migration from Distributed Monitoring 3.7 or IBM Tivoli Monitoring 5.X coexistence.

TMF Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide / Troubleshooting endpoints

When determining problems with the endpoint, it is important to remember that the endpoint operates in conjunction with two other components of the Tivoli environment: the endpoint manager and the gateway. Therefore, you need to assess the state of several Tivoli Management Framework components when troubleshooting endpoints: the endpoint itself, the gateways it can connect to, and the endpoint manager that is on the Tivoli server.

This chapter contains the following sections:
