Key Features and Benefits

Topology. Discover and report topology from the product Operations Connector connects to (based on Web services or XML files). The discovered topology populates the RTSM. You can then manage and work with these discovered configuration items (CIs) and relationships in views.

Events. Get events (from structured log files, database tables, Web services, XML files, SNMP traps, Open Message Interface messages, or scheduled tasks).

Metrics. Get metrics (from structured log files, database tables, Web services, or XML files); metrics are stored on the Operations Connector system.

Web-based UI. Define policies using Web-based UI.

Event synchronization. After OMi receives an event, you can keep it up to date on the event source by configuring OMi and Operations Connector to synchronize event changes back to the third-party system that generated the original event.

OMi integration. Manage Operations Connector from OMi.

Backward compatibility. Operations Connector 9.2x configuration and most of the policies can be upgraded to Operations Connector 10.11. For more information, see the upgrade section in the Operations Connector Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Out-of-the-box connectors. Supporting OMi's open integration strategy, providing out-of-the-box connectors to HPE and third-party products. This enables expanding connectivity of OMi and related products.

Customers can access connectors via HPE Live Network; HPE is continually updating the list out-of-the box integrations with third-party products. For details and for download information, see the HPE Live Network at https://hpln.hpe.com.

HPE certified partners will also be able to build their own connectors and post them on HPE Live Network. See the HPE Live Network site https://hpln.hpe.com.

Run-time Service Model (RTSM). Operations Connector can discover and report topology from the product Operations Connector connects to. You can then manage and work with these discovered configuration items (CIs) in views.

Performance Perspective. You can view the Operations Connector metrics in the OMi Performance Perspective.

360 Degrees View. You can view topology and events related data in the OMi 360 Degrees View.

Topology-based Event Correlation You can use topology-based event correlation to help you better understand, monitor, and manage the problems that can have an effect on the objects in your IT environment. The Correlation Rules manager enables you to define and deploy rules that use indicators to correlate the events occurring in the different domains throughout the managed IT environment.
