Frequently asked questions

This section provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about TrueSight Intelligence.

Where do I find release note information?

See the Release-notes to view new feature (enhancement) releases and related information.

Can I install TrueSight Intelligence on my server?

TrueSight Intelligence is built on a self-service model that is hosted in the cloud. You just need to configure it for collecting data from various sources. For more information, see Collecting-data.

Can I configure multiple TrueSight meters for simultaneous data collection?

Yes, multiple TrueSight meters can be configured for collecting data. For more information, see Collecting-data-using-meters-and-plugins.

How long is my data stored?

The duration for which the data collected is stored is based on your choice of subscription.

Can I get data from the past into TrueSight Intelligence?

Yes. However, you must ensure that the data is sequentially ingested into the system. For example, you must ingest data for 01/01/2015 05:00:00 before ingesting data for 01/01/2015 05:00:01.

What information is searchable from the search bar?

You can search for an application, devices, entities, and metrics from the search bar. For more information, see Searching-for-data.

How do I add metric data to an application?

Data collected for all metrics from a source can be tagged with an application ID. For more information, see Setting-metrics-as-KPIs-for-analysis.

Can a single Application be used to aggregate data from multiple sources?

Yes, you can configure multiple sources to send data to a single application by using the same app_id. You can then set KPIs that you want to monitor. For more information, see  Setting-metrics-as-KPIs-for-analysis.

Can I reassign the TrueSight Intelligence application mapping for metrics?

Yes. However, you will need to update the mapping at the source level. All metrics collected by the source will be visible under the newly selected/created application thereafter.

If I change the source type for measures (sent using APIs), will TrueSight Intelligence automatically move the measure data that was ingested in the past to the new source type?

No. Any change in the source type association will only impact measures that are ingested AFTER it is changed.

Does TrueSight Intelligence move data that was already ingested if I change the app ID for the measures that are currently being sent?

No. TrueSight Intelligence will NOT change the association for data that was ingested in the past.

I’d like a PDF of just selected information. How can I get that?

The BMC Documentation portal gives you the ability to generate PDF exports of multiple pages in a space.  

Creating PDF exports

You can create a PDF of a page or a set of pages. (Non-English page exports are not supported.) You can also create a Word document of the current page.

To export to PDF

  1. Click the Export icon in the upper-right. 1744830844926-963.png
  2. From the Export menu, select PDF.
  3. Follow the prompts for page selection and other options.
  4. Click Export.

 

Depending on the number of topics included in the export, it might take several minutes to create the PDF. After the export process is complete, you can download the PDF.
