2.1.00 enhancements
This section contains information about enhancements in version 2.1.00 of the BMC PATROL for IT Data Analytics product.
Data collection redundancy
Version 2.1.00 of BMC TrueSight IT Data Analytics introduces data collection redundancy for the Collection Station component. Redundancy includes all the Collection Stations in one common pool; if one Collection Station goes down, the Collection Agents communicating with that Collection Station are redirected to the other Collection Stations operating in the pool.
With this capability, unlike earlier versions, the current version of BMC PATROL for IT Data Analytics does not require you to configure multiple Collection Stations and provide the Payload Service port number. When you configure details of one Collection Station, details of the other Collection Stations operating in the pool and the Payload Service is automatically retrieved by the Collection Agent. Also, data collection continues even if the Collection Station with which the the Collection Agent is communicating goes down or fails for some reason.

Collecting all kinds of Windows logs
With this release, you can use Collection Agents to collect all kinds of Windows logs configured in your Windows environment. These logs are retrieved from the collection host. While creating the data collector for collecting Windows logs, you can select all the log types that you want to collect and analyze.
