Displaying the out-of-the-box real-time service model

BMC ProactiveNet Infrastructure Management automatically deploys a BMC infrastructure service model, called BPPM Infrastructure. It consists of logical groupings of BMC services and applications, together with registered components that send all relevant information and latest statuses. The out-of-the-box service model reflects the real-time states of the registered components.

To display the infrastructure service model

1. In the BMC ProactiveNet Administration Console, click the Administration tab.
2. Select the Infrastructure Management tab .
3. Expand the BPPM Infrastructure Management group.
4. Expand the BPPM Infrastructure group.
   The logical groupings of components and applications are displayed, along with registered components.
