Integration
Extra features are provided through integration with other products and components: Tivoli® Monitoring, Netcool/OMNIbus, Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights, Tivoli Common Reporting, and Agent Builder.
- IBM® Tivoli Monitoring
Agent coexistence is supported. You can install IBM Performance Management agents on the same computer where IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents are installed. However, both agent types cannot be installed in the same directory. For more information, see Performance Management agent and Tivoli Monitoring agent coexistence.
If your environment has both IBM Tivoli Monitoring and IBM Performance Management products (on-premises, on Cloud, or both), you can install the IBM Performance Management Hybrid Gateway to provide a consolidated view of managed systems from both domains. For the current list of supported Tivoli Monitoring agents, see APM Developer Center > Hybrid Gateway supported agents. For instructions about installing and configuring the Hybrid Gateway, see Hybrid Gateway.
You can also configure Performance Management agents to send history information to the Tivoli Data Warehouse component of Tivoli Monitoring. Then, you can use the Tivoli Monitoring version of Tivoli Common Reporting to produce reports that include history information for these agents. For more information, see Tivoli Data Warehouse for historical reporting. The history information can be stored for a long time. This functionality is available for the following agents:- Monitoring Agent for Cisco UCS
- Monitoring Agent for Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
- Monitoring Agent for DataPower®
- Monitoring Agent for DB2®
- Monitoring Agent for HMC Base
- Monitoring Agent for IBM Integration Bus
- Monitoring Agent for Linux KVM
- Monitoring Agent for Linux OS
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Active Directory
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Cluster Server
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V Server
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Internet Information Services
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft Lync Server
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server
- Monitoring Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
- Monitoring Agent for Oracle Database
- Monitoring Agent for SAP Applications
- Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS
- Monitoring Agent for VMware VI
- Monitoring Agent for WebSphere® Applications
- Monitoring Agent for WebSphere MQ
- Monitoring Agent for Windows OS
- Netcool/OMNIbus
- You can forward your events from IBM Performance Management into your on-premises Netcool/OMNIbus event manager. For more information, see Configuring the integration for Netcool/OMNIbus.
- IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis
- When your environment includes IBM Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, you can bring together application log data and performance data to help find the root cause of problems that are experienced by your applications. You can search through log data that is associated with your applications to find the cause of a problem, such as slowness or a failure. For more information, see Integrating with Operations Analytics - Log Analysis.
- IBM Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights
- Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights analyzes data and learns the normal behavior of a system. It creates a performance model and uses it to detect or forecast behavior outside the modeled range, and generates alarms when anomalous behavior occurs. IBM Performance Management can be integrated with Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights in your environment. You can then view anomalies in the Application Performance Dashboard and drill down to the Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights user interface to view more details. For more information, see Integrating with Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights.
- Tivoli Common Reporting
- Integrate IBM Performance Management with Tivoli Common Reporting to generate reports on data provided by the following agents:
- Response Time Monitoring Agent
- Monitoring Agent for Synthetic Playback
- Monitoring Agent for WebSphere Applications
- For more information about integrating with Tivoli Common Reporting, see Integrating with Tivoli Common Reporting.
- IBM Agent Builder
- You can use Agent Builder to build custom agents for any technology. For more information, see Agent Builder.
