access control list (ACL)
BMC PATROL
A list that is created by using a PATROL Agent configuration variable and that restricts PATROL Console access to a PATROL Agent. A PATROL Console can be assigned access rights to perform console activities, agent-configuration activities, or event-manager activities. The console server uses ACLs to restrict access to objects in the Common Object System (COS) namespace.
BMC ProactiveNet
A list that comprises the WriteLevelSecurity and ReadLevelSecurity fields of BMC Atrium CMDB and BMC ProactiveNet. Access control in BMC ProactiveNet is specified through ACLs defined in a configuration item (CI). ACLs of a CI control which user groups have access to the CI.
BMC Server Automation
A set of permissions that is defined for every system object. The ACL for an object specifies which roles are granted access to the object and what types of actions those roles can perform on the object. Using the ACL defined for any server, you can generate an agent ACL.
Agent namespace
Agent Query
In BMC PATROL, a PATROL Console feature that constructs SQL-like statements for querying PATROL Agents connected to the console. Agent Query produces a tabular report that contains information about requested objects and can be used to perform object management activities, such as disconnecting and reconnecting computers. Queries can be saved, reissued, added, or changed. BMC PATROL offers built-in queries in the Quick Query command on the Tools menu from the PATROL Console main menu bar. See also Quick-Query.
ALL_COMPUTERS class
In BMC PATROL, the highest-level computer class. Attributes assigned to this class are inherited by all computer classes known to BMC PATROL. See also class and computer-class.
annotated data point
In BMC Impact Solutions, a specially marked point on a parameter graph that provides detailed information about a parameter at a particular moment. The associated data is accessed by double-clicking the data point, which is represented by a user-specified character.
application check cycle
In BMC PATROL, the interval at which application discovery occurs. The PATROL Agent process cache (as opposed to the system process table) is checked to ensure that all application instances and files previously discovered still exist in the cache.
