PSL Collection Method

The PSL collection method uses the BMC PATROL consumer-collector model for gathering and presenting application information. In this model, collector parameters, written in PSL, make calls to UNIX utilities to collect information about the system. Consumer parameters, also written in PSL, retrieve the information from the collector parameters and present this information in a variety of formats (text, gauges, graphs, and so on) to the BMC PATROL Console.

In addition to monitoring of local hosts, the PSL collection method enables you to monitor remote hosts. For more information, see Monitoring mobility.
