Configuring the Redis monitor type
As an administrator, you want to keep your environment up and running at all times. For this purpose, you use BMC Helix Operation Management and TrueSight Operations Management. You start by collecting information (in the form of metrics) about your environment and then use this information to proactively resolve issues. After installing PATROL Agent and knowledge modules (KMs), you create a monitor policy. When the policy is enabled, data collection starts. For more information about monitor policies, see Defining monitor policies.
Before you begin
Ensure that PATROL for Apache Kafka is installed. For more information, see Installing.
