Integration

Edit online

Extra features are provided through integration with other products and components:

Tivoli® Monitoring, OMEGAMON®, Netcool/OMNIbus, Operations Analytics - Log Analysis, Operations Analytics - Predictive Insights, IBM® Cloud, Cloud Private, Tivoli Common Reporting, Cloud Event Management, Agent Builder, and LDAP.

IBM Tivoli Monitoring

Agent coexistence is supported. You can install IBM Cloud Application 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 Cloud APM agent and Tivoli Monitoring agent coexistence.

If your environment has both IBM Tivoli Monitoring and Cloud APM products (cloud, on premises, or both), you can install the IBM Cloud Application Performance Management Hybrid Gateway to provide a consolidated view of managed systems from both environments. For more information, see Hybrid Gateway. For the list of supported Tivoli Monitoring agents, see Supported Tivoli Monitoring and OMEGAMON agents..

You can also configure Cloud APM agents to send history information to the Tivoli Data Warehouse component of Tivoli Monitoring for long-term storage. 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.

IBM OMEGAMON
With OMEGAMON for APM, you can connect one or more OMEGAMON agents that are running on your z Systems® mainframe to Cloud APM. By using OMEGAMON for APM and the Hybrid Gateway to connect your deployed OMEGAMON agents to Cloud APM, you can view monitoring data and events for your OMEGAMON application components in the Cloud APM console.
For more information, see Integrating with OMEGAMON.
IBM Netcool/OMNIbus
You can forward your events from Cloud APM into your on-premises Netcool/OMNIbus event manager. For more information, see Integrating with 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 Cloud Application 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.
IBM Cloud
You can view monitoring information for your applications within the IBM Cloud environment by using the stand-alone data collectors. The data collectors enable the integration of monitoring capabilities with IBM Cloud by transferring resource and deep-dive diagnostics monitoring data about your IBM Cloud applications to the Cloud APM server. The Cloud APM server receives and processes monitoring information that is gathered by the data collectors. The following types of IBM Cloud applications can be monitored:
  • Liberty applications
  • Node.js applications
  • Python applications
  • Ruby applications
After configuring a data collector, you can view monitoring data on the Cloud APM console. For more information, see General procedure for configuring data collectors.
IBM Cloud Private
You can monitor your Cloud Private environment from the Cloud APM console. For more information, see Monitoring IBM Cloud Private.
Tivoli Common Reporting
Integrate IBM Cloud Application 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.
Dashboard Application Services Hub
Jazz® for Service Management has a Dashboard Application Services Hub console with features for building custom dashboards. You can integrate your Cloud APM server with DASH, then create dashboards in the DASH console with data from your Cloud APM agents and data collectors. For more information, see Integrating with Dashboard Application Services Hub.
Cloud Event Management
You can forward your events from Cloud APM into Cloud Event Management. For more information, see Integrating with Cloud Event Management.
IBM Agent Builder
You can use Agent Builder to build custom agents for any technology. For more information, see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKFH/com.ibm.apmaas.doc/install/agent_builder_guide.htm.
LDAP
You can leverage your LDAP repository in Cloud APM. For configuration instructions, see Integrating with LDAP.
