BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization provides the ability to develop additional data collection capabilities, new content artifacts and integrations with external applications. BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization provides specific development tools (i.e. Integration Studio) and a comprehensive set of Application Programming Interfaces (API).
These are of the following two types of objects that can be developed with BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization.
- Plug-ins: plug-ins run inside BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to provide new integration capabilities (i.e. custom connectors) and contents (i.e. custom report templates and custom view portlets); BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization provides development APIs and development kits (SDK) for writing your own plugins.
- Clients: clients connect to BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization to obtain specific services (e.g. to extract data); BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization provides APIs for developing clients in the form of RESTful Web Services.
Plugins
BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization plugins can be broadly categorized as being on the Input or on the Output side.
Side | Plugin | References |
|---|---|---|
Input | ETL: a custom ETL can be developed to used to extend out-of-the-box integration capabilities | |
Output | Report template: a custom Report template can be used to extend out-of-the-box reporting templates | |
Output | View Porlet: a custom view portlet can be developed to extend out-of-the-box portlets |
All plug-in development activities can be performed from Integrated Development Environment (IDE), called Integration Studio, which is provided by BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization.
For more information on Integration Studio and other BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization see:Integration Studio.
Clients
