Out-of-the-box ETLs


BMC Helix Continuous Optimizationprovides a set of out-of-the-box (OOTB) extractors that you can use for data collection. You must configure these ETLs and run them to collect data. These ETLs need to be run on their respective, compatible scheduler, which is installed within an ETL engine. Some of these OOTB ETLs are used to extract data from infrastructure hosted on public clouds like the AWS and GCP whereas other ETLs are used to extract data from your on-premises infrastructure.

Following table provides links to pages with information about how to configure and run these ETLs for data collection. It also mentions the scheduler that is compatible with the respective ETL.
