Configuring user authentication for the Presentation Server in Remedy SSO.
TrueSight Presentation Server and Infrastructure Management enhancements
Noise reduction metrics
Noise reduction enables you to avoid looking at endless volumes of incoming events and focus on resolving important events more efficiently.
The noise reduction metrics help you understand the volume and percentage of events received, stored, and suppressed. Events are suppressed based on rules defined at the cell level resulting in reduced operational noise.
This capability works across event sources including Infrastructure Management servers and associated remote cells and across historical and streaming data.
For more information, see
Viewing and understanding noise reduction metrics.
Create and enable a base user group
You can now create a user group in Remedy SSO and manually enable it as a base user group. This is not enabled by default. After you manually enable the base user group, any user belonging to an external identity provider such as LDAP or SAML without an associated user group in the Remedy SSO can now log in to the TrueSight console.
For more information, see
Default users and user groups.
Orchestration actions for events
Run out-of-the-box Orchestration actions from recurring events with known remediation steps. This capability reduces the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and errors and delays associated with using manual methods for remediating events.
This release enables you to easily integrate TrueSight Presentation Server by adding TrueSight Orchestration as a component. After the integration, you can initiate Orchestration actions from the relevant events.
For more information, see
Using Orchestration actions to enable triage and remediation of events
PATROL Agent Threshold data
You can now view the PATROL Agent Threshold data on the TrueSight console by selecting the Single Metric Analysis > Threshold > PATROL Agent option from the Monitoring Details > Performance Overview tab.
For more information, see
Viewing monitor information in the TrueSight console.
tssh command to check for component port availability
The tssh component portcheck
command is used to check the availability of a component port in the Presentation Server. For more information, see
Checking a component port availability from the Presentation Server.
tssh command to reinitialize events in the Presentation Server
The tssh event reinitialize
command reinitializes events in the Presentation Server. If you modify an existing custom event class definition in the Infrastructure Management server, this command is helpful to view the modified events on the TrueSight console. For more information, see
Reinitializing events in the Presentation Server.
tssh and pw commands to create and import certificates
TrueSight Presentation Server and TrueSight Infrastructure Management server provide a set of CLI commands to create, import, list, delete, and verify the certificates easily and quickly. You enter a few basic details, and the certificates are created and imported with minimal user intervention. For more information, see
Implementing certificates in TrueSight Operations Management using scripts.
BMC Service Resolution integration enhancements
The following enhancements and changes are available for the TrueSight Infrastructure Management 11.3.02 and BMC Service Resolution 3.5 integration:
The BMC Service Resolution integration with Remedy supports only a limited number of temporary fields (10) that can be used for creating incidents based on events in Infrastructure Management. With Infrastructure Management 11.3.02, extend your system by configuring custom fields in addition to the default 10 fields. For more information, see Configuring additional fields to create incidents with custom information.
You can import BMC Service Resolution certificates into TrueSight Infrastructure Management by running the
pw certificate import
command. For more information, see Creating and importing certificates in TrueSight Infrastructure Management.- In addition to TrueSight.log, the logs related to one-click validation are available at /usr/pw/pronto/logs/bsroneclick.log. Also, with Infrastructure Management 11.3.02, an out-of-the-box propagation policy is automatically created. Each time the one-click validation is run, the policy is enabled and then disabled on completion of the validation. For more information, see
Validating integrations.
- The mapping files (DefaultMapping.map, outage.map, RemedyForceDefaultMapping.map, and IBRSD.conf) are automatically backed up. For more information, see
Extending your system capabilities.
- Additional incidents are created when the severity value changes to a lower value. For more information, see
Configuring SIM Notification Registry parameters in the cell.
Authentication support for running commands via the Agent Query Tool
With this release, you can configure authentication for all users irrespective of their roles or permissions to run PSL commands via the Agent Query Tool.
After you enable authentication, all users will be required to provide user credentials used for installing PATROL Agent before they can run the queries.
You can run PSL commands via the Agent Query Tool from both, the Infrastructure Management Operator Console and the Presentation Server.

New event to indicate circular relationship in a service model
The impact status of a service model is not accurately computed if it has a circular relationship. A cell creates a special internal event to indicate that a service model contains a circular relationship. If you are using BMC Atrium CMDB as a source of service model data, you can remove the circular relationship by using BMC Impact Model Designer. For more information, see
Troubleshooting circular relationship in service models.
