Does TEM support find out relationships between hosts?

As to management purpose, a network topology is very helpful to manage assets in a scope.

I can see those hosts in TEM console that have installed client.

However, there is no information/attribute to indicate if there are dependency/transaction relationships among the hosts.

Is there anybody could share experience on it? am I missing something to find out the details?

thanks,

Bo

The Network Asset Maps is the closest that we have.

It is distributed as part of the BigFix Labs.

Lee,

Thanks for your response.

The Network Asset Maps seems to be used for TEM-self management with monitoring bes server/relay/client.

I can’t find out the information indicates if there is relationship between host A and host B when A(application server) is running with data on B (database server). Do I miss something?

thanks,

Bo

Bo,

You are not missing anything. TEM does not track the relationship between hosts as you have described.

Respected Sir,

I have tried this, but since it is not in Commercial module not able to get a idea on that. It’s seems to be really useful as the relays are going to help in network bandwidth consumption…So is there any ways I can check this out. Awaiting for your reply.

Bhargav,

If your TEM license does not include the BigFix Lab, you want to request for that.

You can send an email to ibmtemlicensing @ lotus.com.

The BigFix Lab domain has the “BigFix Asset Network Map” dashboard.
