Bookmarks for June 17th through June 29th

These are my links for June 17th through June 29th:

• Consolidated Event Management: Why It’s more Interesting than You Think – Once you begin to see event management in this light – cross-domain event consolidation and event management – it begins to take on a new face. Cross-domain event management can allow for networking, systems, database, and application managers to derive unique but consistent insights from multiple, established sources of information. By bringing insights from different data gathering and domain-specific sources together for collective analysis, it can begin to approximate the analytic equivalent of a CMS – supporting better collaborative processes and empowering more informed decision making. And when coupled with the disciplines and cohesion of a CMS, consolidated event management can profit from a whole new dimension of reflexive insight – coupling information on service interdependencies and change with dynamically changing performance and availability conditions across the infrastructure.
• Event Management – Old News? No Way! – People are talking more about consolidated event management. Think about that. What could be driving these discussions after 30 years? Isn’t event management old news?

  It depends on who you talk to. The people I work with live and breathe consolidated event and performance management or CEPM as we refer to it. So, we always talk about event management. Most customers I talk to politely ask what is new, but I suspect they really don’t expect us to have any real breakthroughs that will help them reduce the cost of managing events or streamline their operations. But others are starting to talk too.

• IT Security Training White Paper: Tough Love: When IT Security Hurts Your Business 5/20/2009 – Service Management concepts, like ITIL and Business Service Management best practices, can help mend the unraveling relationship. This ITIL and IT security white paper explores the challenges IT departments and their businesses are facing today, and provides examples of what these problems look like in real life.
• Simple Event Management Protocol (SEMP) – Simple Event Management Protocol

  Simple Event Management Protocol (SEMP) is an Event Management Protocol for Cloud Computing, IT Operations and Mobile Networks. SEMP is used in event management systems to monitor cloud computing networks, internet and mobile networks for autonomics ( self-healing ), corrective actions, and notification. It consists of a set of standards for event management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of event based properties.

  SEMP delivers management data in the form of properties on the managed systems, networks, applications, transactions and databases, which describe the system configuration. These properties can then be requested by management applications through SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) or REST.

• TBSM 4.2 – Items the user has no permissions for are still visible. – Pages in a view or folder are still visible to users who have no permissions to access them.

  Cause

  The core view is overriding the default view.

  Resolving the problem

  From tipadmin, go to 'Console Preference Profiles' (Settings -> Console Preference Profiles ->
  <your profile>) and uncheck the 'Core views' CheckBox. Logout from tipadmin and Login with <your profile> user, then you should be seeing only the Default View.
