Quick Reporter for ITM a solution for generating reports on resources managed by the new IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM). Indeed, while the new ITM version 6.x (based mainly on Candle Omegamon technologies) is a very effective and simple monitoring solution, it provides neither native reporting features nor an out-of-the-box integration to reporting systems.

Reports are automatically generated by Quick Reporter for ITM by accessing Tivoli Datawarehouse (TDW) v.2.x databases (all those supported by ITM 6.x). Therefore, users are not required to have knowledge of the ITM/TDW schema or skills on databases or Business Intelligence reporting tools. Quick Reporter for ITM complements IBM monitoring solution with reporting capabilities, thus making your Tivoli management environment ITIL-compliant.

Quick Reporter for ITM has been certified by IBM as a Ready for Tivoli solution and it is published on IBM OPAL (Open Process Automation Library) website.
