BSM Connector Deployment Scenarios

The following figure shows a BSM Connector deployment.

HP BSM Integration Adapter overview

You typically install BSM Connector on the third-party system that acts as data source. For example, to integrate NNMi data into OMi, you install BSM Connector on the NNMi management server. However, BSM Connector can also access data sources on remote systems without the need to install data collectors on these systems.

Where you install BSM Connector depends on the type of data you want to integrate in OMi. BSM Connector must be installed and run locally on the data host when integrating data originating from structured log files, XML files, the open message interface, or scheduled tasks. You can install BSM Connector on any system that meets the requirements if you want to integrate data originating from databases, or receive data through SNMP traps or the REST Web service listener.
