Monitor the health of Podman containers by using BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations
Monitor the health of Podman containers in an on-premises environment through the Container Performance Metrics dashboard, formerly called the Docker Containers dashboard.
For more information, see Monitoring-the-health-of-Docker-containers-in-an-on-premises-environment.
Handle large data from CA APM by using BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations
Handle large data from CA Application Performance Management (CA APM) using the hostGroupingCount parameter.
Divide CA APM hosts into groups by using this parameter. The number of hosts in each group is equal to the value that you specify for this parameter.
The CA APM connector fetches data for one group of hosts first and then for another group until all the groups are processed.
For more information, see Integrating-with-CA-APM.
Collect data with Podman and Helm Package connectors in BMC Helix Developers Tools
The Podman and Helm Package connectors collect data from applications that run on Podman and Helm Package containers. Use these connectors in BMC Helix Developer Tools to collect data from third-party integrations, Linux-based environments, and other environments, such as Ubuntu and CentOS.

Specify the auth source name when configuring a connection with VMware vROps
When configuring a connection with VMware vROps, specify the auth source name, in addition to the user name and password, for user authentication. The auth source name must be the same name that you specify when logging into VMware vROps.
For more information, see Integrating-with-VMware-vROps.
Create buckets with user-defined names on a MinIO server
Create a bucket on a MinIO server by using the MINIO_BUCKET_NAME parameter. Use this parameter when you are using the same Minio server for multiple HA environments (for example, Test and Production) and you want to store the configuration backup file of the on-premises gateway instances of each environment in a separate bucket.
