Data collection
HPE Operations Bridge includes multiple connector mechanisms that allow data to be collected. Metrics, events, topology, and log file data is collected from a diverse set of sources.
The resulting analytical capabilities help your organization increase the added value of sorted information by unifying search, reporting, alerting, and analysis across all types of IT data. This insight enables your team to prepare, predict, and pinpoint emerging issues before they impact the organization.
The data is gathered from agent-based or agentless collectors, and can be streamed in a performance dashboard for real-time graphing, alerts, and analytics. You can also collect data from third party domain managers. For details about performance dashboards, see Performance management.
Agent-based data collection
Agent-based data collection is supplied by a wide variety of management packs that work through Operations Agent. The management packs are installed on target nodes. By leveraging management packs, you can further automate discovery and monitoring, create domain-specific rules and perform cross-domain reporting.
For more information about management packs, see
Content management.

Agentless data collection
Agentless data collection is supplied by SiteScope. SiteScope is a monitoring solution that enables you to remotely monitor the availability and performance of your IT infrastructure.
