The "Power Administrator" provides intelligent and flexible filter possibilties to reduce the number of TSM messages as far as possible and to show only the really relevant messages.

• The appropriate serverity degree of TSM messages is crucial. What helps a TSM messages, displayed to an administrator, but with an improper severity degree? The "Power Administrator for TSM" offers fine granulated configuration features to change severity degrees of TSM messages.

• Regular Health Checks are an important monitoring feature. Generally there are a lot of individual aspects in an individual TSM environment, which need a kind of special monitoring.

The "Power Administrator" provides completely free configurable Health Checks to check all possible aspects of a TSM server.

• One central point for message monitoring and message management is helpful and faciltiates message handling.
