Configuring and Using the Infrastructure Data Collector

The SNMP data collector works with the webMethods Infrastructure Data Collector to monitor non-webMethods devices using the Monitoring API. The Monitoring API passes operational data and monitoring model data to the Analytic Engine. The Monitoring API is designed as a programmatic interface to the systems monitoring functionality of a business integration platform. It communicates over JMS, utilizing a JMS queue, to provide secure and reliable communications between Optimize and Infrastructure Data Collector.

The Infrastructure Data Collector lets you identify webMethods component resources that you want to monitor and analyze. For information on discovering and monitoring resources, see Discovering Assets and Monitoring Components

For information on starting and stopping the Infrastructure Data Collector, see Starting and Stopping Infrastructure Data Collector.

For information on configuring the Infrastructure Data Collector, see Configuring BAM.
