OMI

You can use the OMI page to view an HP OMi data source, which collect events and health indicators from managed entities in your environment. Using this page, you can schedule the HP OMi data collection times, enable or disable data collection, and delete the data collection connection according to your requirements.

Before you create a new HP OMi data source connection, make sure that a data source connection for the HP BSM Management database exists on the ManagementDB \ ProfileDB page. This data connection is a prerequisite for the HP OMi connection because SHR collects the KPI metadata for HP OMi from the Management database.

If you have one or more OMi setups in your environment, you must configure the OMi data source that belongs to the HP BSM RTSM that was configured as the topology source.

The OMI page includes:
