Downloading and installing connectors for third-party integrations
A connector is a container that facilitates data collection and consumption from the integrated solutions. It provides a runtime environment that enables communication with BMC Helix Platform.
As an administrator, first download and install the connector to enable the addition of integrations. You can use a single connector for multiple integrations. However, for better performance, we recommend that you use separate connectors for each integration.
The following types of connectors are available:
- Docker connector: Download and install these connectors in Linux-based environment. Use these connectors to collect data from Linux, cloud-based applications.
- Windows connectors: Download and install these connectors on Windows servers to collect data from Windows-based applications.
