The Operations Center Configuration Manager contains settings related to both the Event Manager and Event Manager agents.
For information on the Configuration Manager, see Updating Server Settings Using the Configuration Manager
in the Operations Center 5.6 Server Configuration Guide.
Because Event Manager agents receive their configuration data from a central Configuration Manager, you can configure all Event Manager agents from the main Operations Center Configuration Manager without having to update agents configurations directly on each remote host.
For information on creating an Event Manager agent, see Section 8.0, Creating and Defining Agents.
If selected during the installation process, the Operations Center Configuration Manager automatically opens during the installation process. Use the Configuration Manager to configure Event Manager and Event Manager agent properties.
To access the Configuration Manager:
Do one of the following:
Click the Windows Start button, select Programs > NetIQ Operations Manager, then click Configure NetIQ Operations Manager.
To access the Configuration Manage for an agent on a remote host, do one of the following:
On Windows: At the DOS prompt, run customizer from the \install_path\bin directory.
On Unix: Run Customizer from the /install_path/bin directory.
For information on Event Manager properties, continue to Section 3.3.2, Understanding Event Manager Properties.
For information on agent properties, continue to Section 3.3.2, Understanding Event Manager Properties.
Event Manager related settings are updated in Event Manager section of the Operations Center Configuration Manager.
