TSM Monitor 1

About

TSM monitor is a web application written in php to help TSM administrators to quickly get reports and health status information of their TSM (IBM Tivoli Storage Manager) servers. It generates it’s content dynamically so one can easily add or modify queries to adapt the application to one’s own needs.

Features:

• customizable queries
• dynamically generated navigation menu
• overview page with traffic light logic
• graphical timetable charts for queries with start and end time (like backups and schedules)
• multiple servers
• login protection (authentication against default tsm server)
• result caching for better performance
• Sorting – you can now sort query result tables by column dynamically, ascending and descending
• Searching – queries like “show me all backups of node xyz” are now possible with dynamically modified queries through a search field
