Integrating with BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management

The BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management product proactively detects and automatically resolves IT performance issues and sub-optimal configurations before users and services are negatively impacted. Alerts are generated for any events or changes that occur in the environment. Typically, alerts are generated even for intentional changes related to the infrastructure, for example, a CI that is unavailable due to a scheduled maintenance, causing unnecessary action to resolve these issues.

The integration of Change Management with BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management allows you to configure event notification parameters so that alerts are not generated for events due to planned changes to a CI or a service.
