Data Flow Management Modules

The Integration Studio enables you to set up OMi integrations to define and control data flows from external data repositories to the RTSM, or from the RTSM to external data repositories.

For more information, see Integration Studio.

The Universal Discovery module enables you to manage the process for discovery of the CIs and relationships of your IT infrastructure. You control the process by activating discovery jobs.

You can manage discovery by partitioning your enterprise into zones and activating discovery activities (groups of discovery jobs) to discover infrastructure (IPs, nodes), basic software (shallow running software including application servers, databases, and web servers), deep database configuration, and inventory ( for example, CPUs, installed software, logical volumes), among other data.

You could also control the process by manually activating discovery jobs. You can choose to activate all or some of the jobs in a module. You can also edit discovery jobs, and schedule a job to run at a certain time.

For more information, see Introduction to Universal Discovery.

The Data Flow Probe Setup module enables you to add Data Flow Probes to the system and to manage existing Data Flow Probes. You define the network range that each Data Flow Probe covers.

You also manage communication credentials from the Data Flow Probe Setup module. These credentials are used for both discovery and integration purposes.

Universal Discovery integrates with HPE Real User Monitor (RUM) to provide passive, real-time discovery and monitoring of traffic in a given environment. This is known as the Just-In-Time discovery mechanism. You manage IP ranges and port ranges for passive discovery probes from the Data Flow Probe Setup module.

For more information, see Data Flow Probe Setup.

The Reconciliation Priority module enables you to specify the reconciliation priority for a particular integration point, CIT, or attribute.

For more information, see Add Reconciliation Priorities to a CI Type.

The Adapter Management module enables you to edit adapters, scripts, configuration files (including discovery rules), and scanner configurations. You can also replace or remove external resources needed for discovery or integration from this module.

For more information, see Adapter Configuration.

The Universal Discovery Community website provides you with a convenient way to obtain the latest HPE UCMDB Discovery and Integration Content Pack. The Content Pack provides all of the out-of-the-box discovery packages and integration adapters required for performing discovery and integrating with other HPE products and third-party sources.

For more information, see Universal Discovery Community.

The Data Flow Probe Status module enables you to view the current status of a particular Data Flow Probe: which discovery or integration job the Probe is currently running, execution statistics, and so on. You can also view the report results in a My Workspace portlet.

For details, see Data Flow Probe Status.
