Working with SPECTRUM

SPECTRUM is a network fault management system that provides proactive management of your network infrastructure through root cause analysis, impact analysis, event correlation, and service level management. It proactively enables you to manage complex, heterogeneous multivendor network environments by automatically identifying the cause of network problems, suppressing symptomatic alarms, and highlighting business impact, enabling you to meet and exceed service level agreements.

Unicenter MP provides an integration point with SPECTRUM. Unicenter MP uses the Unicenter NSM integration with SPECTRUM to provide access to SPECTRUM objects and interfaces. From Unicenter MP, you can do the following:

• Create a connection to a SPECTRUM server
• Access the SPECTRUM OneClick interface
• Access the SPECTRUM Business Services page
• Publish SPECTRUM portlets
• View SPECTRUM objects in scoreboards and the Portal Explorer
• View SPECTRUM events in the Event Console and alerts in the Alert Console
• Launch the SPECTRUM OneClick interface from the Portal Explorer

To work with SPECTRUM, you must define a connection to the WorldView server that has been integrated with SPECTRUM and contains SPECTRUM objects.
