Integrating by using BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations

An organization with a huge IT infrastructure and global operations might have multiple tools to monitor and manage the performance and health of its infrastructure environment. Managing multiple and independent third-party monitoring tools might impact coherent monitoring.

As a tenant administrator, you can use BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations to connect with third-party products (cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid) to collect alert, event, metric, and topology data. You can view and derive actionable insights from this data in BMC Helix AIOps, BMC Helix Discovery, BMC Helix Dashboards, and BMC Helix Operations Management.

The following video (3:19) provides a high-level overview of BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations.

3	Derive actionable insights	View key performance indicators and entities from all the integrated products on the Overview page of BMC Helix AIOps. The consolidated summary on the Overview page helps you to quickly visualize and assess the health of your infrastructure environment. For more information, see Monitoring key performance indicators and entities . Monitor services and determine the most likely causes of any issue in an infrastructure environment by correlating millions of monitoring data points and analyzing the relationship between infrastructure nodes and services. For more information, see: Monitoring services Performing causal analysis of impacted services Use a centralized event view to monitor and manage events, perform event operations, and filter events. Identify actionable events from a large volume of event data by processing events in various ways. For more information, see Monitoring events and reducing event noise. . Detect anomalies and eliminate false positives. Use alarm and variate policies to detect anomalies through static and dynamic thresholds. For more information, see Detecting anomalies by using static and dynamic thresholds. .
