This task describes how to forward data by using BSM Connector data forwarding policies:
Prerequisite: Make sure the following applies:
Your BSM Connector is configured to work with OMi by using the bsmc-conf
tool.
The certificate request is approved on the OMi side.
Your BSM Connector is set up as a connected server in OMi.
Optional prerequisite: In some data forwarding scenarios you may need to configure a proxy. You can perform this in the underlying OM Agent communication layer. In a most basic case, you can use the OM Agent tool ovconfchg
, where the basic setting takes the form:
[bbc.http] PROXY=web-proxy.company.com:8088
For details on how to configure the OM Agent communication layer, see the OM Agent documentation.
In the BSM Connector user interface, click in the toolbar. Then click Forwarding >
Data Forwarding.
Alternatively, double-click an existing policy to edit it.
In the Properties page, define information that is related to the policy itself (for example, the name and description of the policy).
For details, see Configuring Data Forwarding Properties.
In the Targets page, define the targets to which data is sent to.
For details, see Configuring Data Forwarding Targets.
Configure data forwarding rules:
To forward metric data, select the Metric page and configure metric data forwarding rules.
For details, see Configuring Metric Data Forwarding.
To forward structured input data, select the Structured Input page and configure structured input data forwarding rules.
For details, see Configuring Structured Input Data Forwarding.
Click Save and Close to save the policy and close the editor.
Optional. If the list of policies does not refresh automatically in the BSM Connector user interface, click in the toolbar.
