Synchronizing data automatically

Each of the adapters (BMC PATROL, BMC Performance Manager Portal, HP OM, SCOM, and BMC TM ART) automatically synchronizes the configuration data with its external source on a regular interval. This is based on the adapter auto-sync poll interval. The auto-sync ensures that changes in the source product are reflected in the BMC ProactiveNet Server. All monitor instances that are created, deleted, or updated in the source product are reflected in BMC ProactiveNet only after an auto-sync is performed during the auto-sync poll. By default, auto-sync is performed once a day but can be changed to occur less or more frequently depending on the environment. However, performance is impacted at some point if auto-sync is run too frequently. BMC ProactiveNet has enhanced the auto-sync poll frequency of BMC PATROL to 1 minute, by default.

The auto-sync framework detects all unique instances of a monitor type and creates these instances automatically on the selected BMC ProactiveNet Server. The unique instances are loaded on the devices, groups, and monitors after the adapter instance is created.

The auto-sync ensures that changes in the source product are reflected in the BMC ProactiveNet Server.

 

Warning

Note

  • Synchronization frequency has an impact on the performance of the system.
  • Whenever n number of application classes are imported, n+1 application classes are loaded for auto discovery due to inclusion of a target availability monitor. This is applicable for BMC PATROL, HP OM, and BMC TM ART adapters.
  • Auto-sync for adapters is not supported through the command-line interface.
