Key concepts
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager administers and controls virtualized infrastructure components, such as hosts and virtual machines through a centralized management system.
Knowledge Modules (KM) provide information for the way monitored computers are represented in the BMC PATROL interface, for the discovery of application instances and the way they are represented. It also provides information for the parameters that are run under those applications, and for the options available on object pop-up menus.
BMC PATROL KM for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization contains the knowledge in the form of monitor types and attributes which is used to discover, monitor, and analyze the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment, which contains data centers, clusters, storage domains, hosts, and virtual machines.
