11.3.01 enhancements
TrueSight Operations Management version 11.3.01 provides the following enhancements and changes:
System requirements validation for installing or upgrading Infrastructure Management and Presentation Server
When you install or upgrade Infrastructure Management or Presentation Server, the installer validates if the system requirements for a large setup are met and only then allows you to proceed with the installation or upgrade. After the installation or upgrade, the system requirements are validated every time that you restart the product.
However, in a test environment, you can skip the validation of system requirements and install or upgrade the product. You can do this by running the installer with the -J MINIMAL=true parameter. For more information, see the
installation
and
upgrade
instructions.
Similarly, you can start the Infrastructure Management or Presentation Server service only when your system meets the system requirements. However, in a test environment, you can force the service to start by making some configuration changes. For more information, see
Starting and stopping the TrueSight Operations Management components.

TrueSight Smart Reporting
You can use TrueSight Smart Reporting to generate reports with a simple drag-and-drop action. TrueSight Smart Reporting uses TrueSight Operations Management Reporting as its platform to administer, compile, and publish reports, and uses Oracle or SQL Server as the application database. The Report Engine is a Java application that collects event, impact, and performance data from TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. , and compiles the data. The Report Engine periodically summarizes performance data, and calculates impact metrics using the events data.
TrueSight Smart Reporting integrates TrueSight Operations Management with Yellowfin, a third-party business intelligence and reporting tool. For information about Yellowfin, see the
Yellowfin documentation
(http://wiki.yellowfin.bi/display/USER74/Home).
For information about using TrueSight Smart Reporting, see the
TrueSight Smart Reporting documentation

Data visualization enhancements
Reintroduced support for Atrium Orchestrator Triage and Remediation workflows
The following Triage and Remediation workflows are now supported:
- Agent Restart
- ESX Host Down
- Host Down
For more information, see
Integrating with Atrium Orchestrator to enable the Triage and Remediation workflow.
Usability improvements
You can now generate monthly consumption-based license usage reports that display the average reports of the following components:
- Third-party events
- Data streams
- Cloud streams
- Sentry streams
For more information, see
Viewing and exporting the License Usage - Consumption Data report.
Activate or deactivate data collection at the PATROL Agent by configuring filters in a monitoring policy
You can now activate or deactivate a PATROL Agent parameter that stops or starts data collection and event generation in the PATROL Agent. You can do this by configuring filters in a monitoring policy in the TrueSight console.
This feature avoids the redundant data collection and event generation in the PATROL Agent when you have applied a monitoring policy to restrict the data and event flow to the Infrastructure Management server.
For more information, see
Defining a monitoring policy.
New parameters for the API that lists details of all the policies
With this release, the list API has new parameters that can help you list policies based on additional conditions.
These parameters allow you to list details of all the policies based on a list of monitoring criteria, such as the monitoring solution name, version, monitor type, and so on. You can add these parameters in the request body while running the API (with the POST method).
For more information, see
Listing details for all the policies API.
New operator for selecting Agents while creating a policy
While creating a policy, you can now use the in list operator for selecting Agents. The value of the in list operator can be a comma-separated list of Agent host names.
For more information, see
Defining a monitoring policy.
Documentation improvements
Enhanced installation documentation
The TrueSight Operations Management installation documentation is redesigned for ease of use. The highlights are:
- A sequenced path to perform the installation.
- Better navigational assistance with the “Where you are” map and information about the next step in the installation process.
- Every installation procedure is designed as an end-to-end topic for better readability and to avoid page switching.
Added certificate troubleshooting documentation
Newly-added certificate troubleshooting documentation helps you resolve some of the problems that you may face while creating and importing signed certificates for the TrueSight Operations Management components. For more information, see Troubleshooting security certificate issues.
Comments
The "TrueSight Smart Reporting" link in the top right box seems broken...
Thank you for the note. I have fixed the link.
