Forward OMi Metrics Data
You can configure Performance Graphing (known as Performance Dashboard in OMi 10.10 ) to forward metrics data from OMi to BVD. The metrics data is collected from your graph favorites in OMi. Your favorites must be configured to export or forward data to BVD.
Before Performance Graphing starts forwarding data, configure and enable data forwarding to BVD as described in Configure and enable metrics data forwarding on the OMi server.
