Management packs provide add-on content on top of OMi. They deliver automatic and end-to-end monitoring solutions of infrastructure and applications. Management packs enable users to monitor, detect, troubleshoot, and remediate issues in the IT domain. They increase the productivity of the user by optimizing and automating various tasks and reduce the mean time to resolve (MTTR) incidents.
Management packs discover application domains and proactively monitor the domains for availability and performance issues. They include, for example, management templates, aspects, policy templates, performances graphs, troubleshooting tools, auto remediation flows, Health Indicator and KPI definitions, as well as topology-based event correlation (TBEC) rules.
The following figure shows an overview of the content that can be included in a set of management packs.
Note A management pack provided by HPE typically consists of an RTSM package, a content pack, manuals, and the online help. All this content is automatically uploaded during the management pack installation. To use a management pack, a separate license may be required.
Content management tools
OMi has a set of tools to help you manage your own content. These tools are the RTSM Package Manager and the Content Packs Manager. You can use them to package your own content and to exchange the content between systems. For example, you can prepare content in a test environment and then transfer the tested content to a production environment when the tests confirm that the content works as expected.
Export and import tools also enable you to exchange content between systems so that you can keep snapshots or backup images of the content you developed. In addition, they make sure that different instances remain synchronized and up to date.
