Installing and managing connectors

A connector is a container that facilitates data collection and consumption from the integrated solutions. It provides a runtime environment that enables communication with BMC Helix Portal.

As an administrator, first download and install the connector to enable the addition of integrations. You can use a single connector for multiple integrations. However, for better performance, we recommend that you use separate connectors for each integration. 

The following types of connectors are available:

• Linux connector: Download and install these connectors to collect data from applications running on Linux environments.
• Windows connector: Download and install these connectors to collect data from applications running on Windows environments.
