BMC TrueSight Operations Management monitor adapter

The monitor adapter receives events from BMC TrueSight Operations Management (previously known as BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management) and other sources, like the msend command, and Impact Integration Web Server (IIWS) on the BEM gateway. You must specify the gateway name, port, and encryption key in the monitor adapter configuration. These elements are the interface to the BMC TrueSight Operations Management gateway definitions. Therefore, these elements must match the BMC TrueSight Operations Management gateway definitions in the mcell.dir and incomm.conf files to capture the events sent to the monitor adapter.

To use the monitor adapter, you must configure cells to forward events to the gateway in the BMC Impact Administration Server environment. For details about the configuration elements for the monitor adapter, see the Node elements for configuring the monitor adapter  table.

The monitor adapter handles the events in the following sequence:

1. The monitor adapter listens on the BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management gateway that is set up on the BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management server to detect and handle events.
2. The rules in the module configuration are then triggered by the event to handle the designed workflow.
