BMC PATROL for Scripting 2.1

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 and are located in the Infrastructure Management–PATROL Repository (Repository).

The PATROL for Scripting KM allows you to write a script in the language of your choice. You can use the script to discover instances, collect performance metrics, and send it to the TrueSight Operations Management.
