Administering
Depending upon their roles and permissions, administrators (super admin and app admin roles) generally configure the product so that IT operators (troubleshooter role) and application specialists (app admin role) can use the product to perform various activities related to the use cases.
The information in this section can help you perform various administration tasks related to managing and maintaining the TrueSight IT Data Analytics product. In addition, this section covers information about setting up data collection, setting up notifications, and managing user access control.
All references to the Standalone Agent or Standalone Collection Agent in this document is applicable only if you are using IT Data Analytics version 11.3.01. The latest version released for a Standalone Agent is 11.3.01. Starting from version 11.3.02, no more versions will be released for the Standalone Agent. However, you can make a note of the following information:
- You can continue to use Standalone Agent version 11.3.01 with IT Data Analytics version 11.3.02.
- If you have created Data Collectors using a Standalone Agent in version 11.3.01, the data collection will continue to work with IT Data Analytics version 11.3.02.
- You can also edit the Data Collectors to use PATROL Agent instead of a Standalone Agent in IT Data Analytics version 11.3.02.
