Essential Configuration

Essential configuration of Operations Connector consists of several tasks. Complete them in the following order:

  1. Adjust a few OMi settings. See Adjusting OMi Settings topic.

  2. Common configuration steps. See Configuring Common Items topic.
  3. Configure the event integration: set the event integration options, and activate the Operations Connector policies. See Configuring Events Collection topic.

    This task is mandatory for collecting events.

  4. Configure the topology integration: set the topology integration options, and activate the Operations Connector policies. See Configuring Topology Collection topic.

    This task is mandatory for collecting topology.

If Operations Connector is used to integrate multiple types of Systems Insight Manager entities, you can combine specific steps from the otherwise separate configuration procedures. For example, you can import policies for all integrated entity types into Operations Connector at once, and you can review and activate them one after another.

Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration of Operations Connector is not mandatory. It includes the following tasks:

  • Configure the behavior of the event and topology integrations. See Configuration Options topic.

  • Customize the default event mappings. See Entity Mappings topic.

Service provider recommends advanced configuration tasks are performed only by users with sufficient knowledge of Systems Insight Manager.
