Monitoring and investigating services and situations

Monitor system health, reduce event noise, perform probable cause analysis for impacted services, and boost the remediation opportunities of your integrated environment. 

The following table identifies the tasks that help you monitor and investigate services and situations:

ActionReference

Set up user accounts and grant access

Configure your identity provider to set up more users and user groups and assign specific permissions to them. User management functions are performed in BMC Helix Portal .

Monitoring key performance indicators and entities

Monitor situations

As an operator, monitor and investigate policy-based situations. Monitoring situations provide the ability to:

  • Dynamically aggregate events based on event correlation policy to derive actionable insights.
  • Investigate the aggregated events.
  • Reduce the event noise.
  • Improve the mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR) issues based on the situation-driven workflow.
  • Lower the mean-time-to-detect or discover (MTTD) and the time required for investigating tickets.

Monitor services

As an operator, monitor services to assess the service health and perform probable cause analysis using the following options:

  • Comprehensive health timeline for predefined time ranges.
  • Probable cause analysis impact of causal entities
  • Impactful events and change requests.
  • Topology maps showing the relationship between services and nodes.
  • Metrics data graphs.
