
Remote Agents integrate directly into the TEP like any other
agent
Each system appears and is treated individually even though
they are monitored by a single agent

Sub-node agents
 One agent can represent more than
one monitored entity
– Multiple remote systems in one agent
– Multiple instances of an application
 One agent can represent different
types of entities
– Build one agent which can monitor
different sets of data on different
systems
– Consolidate monitoring definition (fewer
agent types and instances)
– More flexibility in TEP display and data
collection
– Allows ITM 5 users to mimic
profiles/profile managers

Script and Log Usability Enhancements





Make use of Script and Log
file data sources much
easier
Adds build-time test and
automatic data source
definition
Script
–
Execute script from the builder
–
Build attribute list
automatically
–
Re-execute changed script, reparse for format changes
Log
–
Parse sample log file in the
builder
–
Build attribute list
automatically
–
Re-parse log file when
definition changes

CIM Data Provider
 Using the browser, point and click
to select which CIM classes to
collect
 Supports collection of arbitrary
CIM data
 Includes friendly browse of the
data from local or remote systems
 Allows connections to:
