Integrations
Expand your IT management capability by integrating products that are part of the Operations Bridge Suite or establishing cross-suite integrations with products from other HPE Software suites.
Integrations between the Operations Bridge Suite products are crucial to combine each product's capabilities and fully leverage the Operations Bridge. Integrating the products creates an interactive product environment that supports your organization's needs.
For cross-suite integrations, you can either integrate the Operations Bridge Suite with other suites or with other software products. Connect the products of your Operations Bridge Suite with other products that are not part of the suite in order to process data generated outside of the Operations Bridge. Cross-suite integrations are available depending on the lead Operations Bridge product and the product you want to integrate it with.
Operations Connector also enables you to integrate your Operations Bridge Suite with third party domain managers, making it easier for you to take advantage of the suite capabilities in an existing environment and to expand the reach of your operations bridge.
For information about supported product integrations, see the HPE Integrations Catalog.
Content management
To get additional content, you can use management packs. 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.
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
A set of tools helps 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.
