BMC Infrastructure Management-PATROL Repository



BMC Infrastructure Management-PATROL Repository

A Knowledge Module (KM) or a monitoring solution is a set of files from which a PATROL Agent receives information about resources running on a monitored computer. A KM file can contain the actual instructions for monitoring objects or simply a list of KMs to load. KMs are deployed to PATROL Agents. These KMs are located in the Infrastructure Management–PATROL Repository (Repository).
