Deployment use cases

This topic presents deployment considerations for BMC Application Diagnostics.

BMC Application Diagnostics Server deployment

The server-side of BMC Application Diagnostics is comprised of two components:

  • BMC Application Diagnostics Portal
     You must install one, and only one, portal.
  • BMC Application Diagnostics Collector
     You can install from one to five BMC Application Diagnostics Collectors on separate host computers.

You can install the BMC Application Diagnostics Portal and one BMC Application Diagnostics Collector on the same host, or install the BMC Application Diagnostics Collectors on separate hosts.

Database used with BMC Application Diagnostics

You create new MySQL 5.5 databases during BMC Application Diagnostics Server installation. The databases are installed locally on the BMC Application Diagnostics Portal and Collector host or hosts. These are the only databases that the BMC Application Diagnostics Server uses.

BMC Application Diagnostics Agent deployment

After you install the BMC Application Diagnostic Server, you must install Agents on each application server computer that you want to monitor. The Agent monitors and collects information required for each application. Each Agent is paired with a BMC Application Diagnostics Collector and sends captured information to the Collector.
