Installation process overview

BMC Application Diagnostics monitors and identifies performance issues in Java and Microsoft .NET enterprise web application. When integrated with BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring, BMC Application Diagnostics provides visibility of performance issues from an end user perspective.

For a standalone product, you install the BMC Application Performance Management Console and access the product from the Diagnostics tab. As part of BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring environment, you access diagnostics data directly from a link in the Real User Analyzer.

Installing the standalone product includes installation of the console, BMC Application Diagnostics Server components, and agents. Integration with BMC Real End User Experience Monitoring requires some additional tasks.
