Lookup information and metrics
This topic covers the following information:
Lookup details
The connector defines multiple lookup fields for coordinating with other connectors. The following table lists the sequence of field sets for strong lookup and weak lookup.
Metrics and relationships
Metrics supported by the SYSCNF dataset
Populated object relationships
Hierarchy rule
The hierarchy rule will be used to process object relationships, and will run automatically, as part of the daily run.
Atrium user configuration
The configured Atrium user should have administrative privileges on the BMC Atrium server, so that BMC Atrium can be scanned to fetch information about computer systems, hardware configuration, and business service instances.
ETL output
The BMC Atrium CMDB ETL discovers standalone systems and the following for different platforms:
- VMware: host and guest
- IBM AIX: LPARs
- Oracle Solaris: LDOMs, Zones
It also discovers business services, applications, and related computer systems.
In a CMDB data model that is created by using ADDM computer systems, relationships are defined as a source Configuration Item (CI) that is related to a target CI. For example, the following data model shows the computer systems (source CIs) that are related to business services (target CIs) (arrows pointing upwards from computer systems to related business services).
Classes and relationships
When you run the ETL, it captures these relationships as a hierarchy of business services, related applications, and the associated computer systems.
