Overview of the TrueSight Operations Management licenses

TrueSight Operations Management learns and baselines the behavior of your applications and IT infrastructure; collects and processes events from a wide variety of sources; predicts problems before they occur; automatically pinpoints probable-cause across technology silos; and initiates standardized problem triage and resolution processes. Enriched with IT Data Analytics, TrueSight Operations Management increases the analytics available to IT for faster problem resolution by adding correlation of machine data/log capabilities, improving root cause analysis and offering predictive capabilities to resolve similar problems.TrueSight Operations Management optimizes application performance by reducing the number of outages, speeding mean time to repair, and improving operational efficiency through out-of-the-box automation and integration.

TrueSight Operations Management requires a base license and offers several license add-ons. The license add-ons work with the base license to provide functionality for various components.

The following table describes the functional capabilities provided by the base license and each of the license add-ons. The base license is required, and you can add none, one, or all of the license add-ons, depending upon your needs.
