Architecture

Starting with the version 9.1.04, BMC does not provide support for the SLM Collector and all BMC provided integrations making use of the SLM Collector.

BMC Service Level Management (BMC SLM) combines the service support, infrastructure metrics, and events data into a common product. BMC SLM allows you to set agreements and service target goals using a common mechanism. The architecture reflects the seamless integration and emphasizes that it is one BMC SLM product in the presentation and the data layer.

The service target results from both data sources are used by the SLA compliance processor to get periodic compliance results. The following figure shows the various BMC SLM components and their relationships.
