Operations Center 5.7 includes the following adapter enhancements:
For ease of use, when you start the Operations Center console, Operations Center automatically prompts you to create an adapter if you have not already done so.
For more information, see Creating an Adapter in the Operations Center Adapter and Integration Guide.
For easier setup of the Control Center environment, when you create the AppManager Control Center adapter, you can choose to have Operations Center discover the AppManager repositories (QDBs) that are connected to Control Center and create the required NetIQ AppManager adapters.
For more information, see Creating and Configuring AppManager Adapters in the NetIQ AppManager Operations Portal Getting Started Guide.
You now have the ability to create server-side alarm filters for AppManager Control Center elements.
It is now possible to right-click the AM Manager and Master View elements to add AppManager agents to the elements.
This functionality is also available from the Information tab for AppManager elements.
You can add custom fields to Operations Center alarms that are derived from AppManager events by configuring the AppManager adapter to call a custom script during adapter startup that registers an event listener with the adapter. Each time the adapter receives an event from AppManager, it invokes the event listener to read information about the event and add custom fields to the event.
For more information, see Adding Custom Fields to Alarms in the Operations Center Adapter and Integration Guide.
