Collecting data via Continuous Optimization Agents

You can use Continuous Optimization Agents to collect data from the managed systems in your environment. The managed systems include physical systems and systems that run on the virtualized platforms, such as AIX, HP, KVM, and Solaris. The data collected by the Continuous Optimization Agents is transferred to the Gateway Server, which processes the data. The processed data is transferred to the Application Server and then to the database. You can view this data in the views and analyze it for investigating the capacity-related issues in the managed systems.

Additionally, you can configure the Gateway Server to aggregate and store the process-level data from the Continuous Optimization Agents. This process-level data can be accessed from the Process Profile page in the Data Explorer view for AIX, KVM and Solaris in the Views tab. For details, see Aggregating-process-level-data-for-views.

After the data is collected from the Continuous Optimization Agents, the Gateway Server converts the data to the VIS file format. The ETLs that were created automatically transfer the VIS files to the Application Server.
