Collecting data using TrueSight Pulse
Use TrueSight Intelligence to analyze TrueSight Pulse data
TrueSight Pulse has standard plugins that are readily available used to collect data from popular data sources, such as operating systems, databases, cloud services, devices, and so on. You can get this data into TrueSight Intelligence for analysis.
Send TrueSight Pulse data to TrueSight Intelligence
You must add configuration parameters to facilitate the BMC TrueSight Pulse for sending data to BMC TrueSight Intelligence. Tag data at the TrueSight Pulse meter level to send all data collected by one or more meters to a selected TrueSight Intelligence application. In the example below, the meters (Meter 1 and Meter 2) send data to a single TrueSight Intelligence application (Application 1).
Prerequisite
You must have a valid subscription to TrueSight Pulse with meters set up for data collection.
To send data from a TrueSight Pulse meter to a TrueSight Intelligence application
- Navigate to the configuration file, meter.conf.
- For Linux, navigate to /etc/boundary/
- For Windows, navigate to /Program Files (x86)/boundary/
- Edit the properties section of the file to add the TrueSight Intelligence application ID
For example: "properties" : { "app_id":"MyAppID" }
- Restart the TrueSight Pulse meter
