TrueSight IT Data Analytics basic deployment
Tip
You can download this presentation and view it as a slide show.
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.
TrueSight IT Data Analytics core components
The following table describes the purpose of each of the core components:
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Collection Agent | Collection Agents collect data from the target hosts (where data resides) and forward it to the Collection Station. Collection Agents can be of two types – Standalone Collection Agent and Collection Agent for the PATROL infrastructure. For more information, see Agent types. |
| Collection Station | Gets automatically installed when you install the product. Collection Station serves a dual role – one of data collection and the other of acting as a proxy (or receiver) for Collection Agents that forward data to the IT Data Analytics server. For more information, see Agent types. |
| Console Server | Serves as the user interface for performing all actions in the product. The Console Server also acts as a gatekeeper for actions performed by using the CLI and REST APIs. |
| Search | Processes search requests and runs scheduled notifications and reports. For more information, see Using. |
| Indexer | Acts as an internal datastore for storing data collected by Collection Stations and Collection Agents. Indexers provide indexing capability for all the log data collected. For more information, see About Indexers. |
| Configuration Database | Stores all configuration information, such as data collectors, dashboards, and saved searches. This component does not store data collected by using the Collection Stations and Collection Agents. |
| Remedy Single Sign-On | Can be optionally used as an additional means of authenticating into TrueSight IT Data Analytics. This kind of authentication is required to be able to integrate with TrueSight Presentation Server. For more information, see
User authentication options

Integrated products
The following table describes the purpose of each of the supported integrations:
| Product | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|
TrueSight Infrastructure Management | Integration with TrueSight Infrastructure Management enables you to search and analyze Infrastructure Management events in TrueSight IT Data Analytics. Also, TrueSight IT Data Analytics can log events into TrueSight Infrastructure Management via notifications. For more information, see Integrating with TrueSight and ProactiveNet products. | |
TrueSight Presentation Server | Hosts the TrueSight console which consumes events sent by TrueSight IT Data Analytics. To enable this integration, you need to register TrueSight IT Data Analytics with TrueSight Presentation Server. Also, TrueSight Infrastructure Management needs to be registered with TrueSight Presentation Server. For more information, see Integrating with TrueSight and ProactiveNet products. | |
| Remedy Action Request System | Integration with Remedy Action Request System allows you to collect and analyze Remedy data (changes and incidents) into TrueSight IT Data Analytics. For more information, see Integrating with Remedy Action Request System. |
