25.4 enhancements and patches

25.4.00

Collect events and metrics from any third-party product by using the generic connector

Use the generic connector to collect events and metrics data from any third-party product. The connector is available for the BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations on-premises deployment and uses a webhook mechanism to collect data from third-party products. This connector is especially useful when no out-of-the-box connector is available for a third-party product. 

For more information, see Integrating with third-party products by using the generic connector via webhook.

Communicate with the BMC Helix object storage via a proxy server

In high-availability deployments of the on-premises gateway, you can use a proxy server between the on-premises gateway and BMC Helix object storage. Using a proxy server before the object storage enhances security and streamlines connectivity.

If a proxy is already configured for the BMC Helix applications (destination), the same proxy is used for communication with the object storage.

For more information, see Configuring the on-premises gateway for high availability.

Collect additional metrics from BMC Stackify

In addition to the existing device metrics, you can now collect data for the application metrics from BMC Stackify. The metrics JSLT has been updated to support these metrics. 

 For more information, see Integrating with BMC Stackify.

View event source details in BMC Helix Operations Management

In BMC Helix Operations Management, you can easily identify the source of an event. When an event is received via BMC Helix Intelligent Integrations, additional slots display the key details, such as:

• Host name
• Port
• Source stream name
• Source stream ID

These details enhance the traceability of an event and help you relate the event to its source.
