Connect to the IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management data provider
To display Cloud APM data in custom dashboards in the Dashboard Application Services Hub console, you must create a connection to the Cloud APM data provider.
For more information about creating a connection to a remote data provider, see Creating a connection in the Jazz® for Service Management documentation.
For more information about what details to specify
when creating a connection, see the Cloud
APM
and DASH configuration section in the Creating custom monitoring dashboards PDF file,
available from the IBM-cloud-apm-samples github repository.
Note: When you create
the data provider connection, you must specify the smadmin user and its password. smadmin is an
internal user for Cloud
APM. The default
password is apmpass. If you created a custom password for the apmadmin user during the Cloud
APM server installation, or used the smapasswd.sh
script to change the password of the smadmin user, then you need to specify your custom password to
replace the default password apmpass.
After you create the connection to the Cloud
APM data provider, you can create custom
dashboards. For more information, see Create custom dashboards with IBM Cloud Application Performance Management data.
