AppManager® Connectors for Management Frameworks
NetIQ's AppManager Connectors for Management Frameworks (AppManager Connectors) enable organizations that have adopted management frameworks to benefit from AppManager's best-of-breed management of Windows servers. The AppManager Suite can forward event information to other management frameworks, and receive acknowledgements in return.
The Business Problem
Many IT organizations today consist of components from multiple hardware and software vendors. To meet the needs of business users, you must monitor all your components to quickly determine the root cause of problems and get your systems functioning properly.
The NetIQ Solution
NetIQ works closely with framework vendors to ensure that AppManager provides the tightest possible integration with frameworks. AppManager provides a variety of benefits for organizations using multiple frameworks, including:
- Gathering additional data from the various frameworks
- Automatically formatting and forwarding events to various framework and trouble ticketing systems
- Viewing AppManager alerts in the frameworks display
Key Features and Benefits
Supplement framework and Performance & Availability Management so the connectors can easily integrate AppManager events and information for organizations that have invested in and deployed complementary management frameworks. This capability enables you to realize the benefits of the highly focused application management available with AppManager.
Provide tight integration with a single-console event view to easily format and map severity and status levels between management systems. They also consolidate event management for systems and problem management resolution. AppManager Connectors automatically forward AppManager event information to various management frameworks—reducing administration of the combined solutions.
Simplify administration with intelligent, flexible filtering that allows you to forward events of a desired severity level and limit information to a subset of operating systems, applications or servers. By setting suppression levels, you can handle event storms—saving time while optimizing system and network resources.
