Application Insight Modules (AIMs)

The SystemEDGE agent provides a plug-in architecture through which it can load optional Application Insight Modules (AIMs) when it initializes. These AIMs provide an extensible and flexible approach to support application-specific semantic knowledge.

The following AIMs adhere to the SystemEDGE state management model and support deployment and configuration through manager user interfaces:

VMware vCenter Server AIM

Provides management capabilities of systems that are under VMware vCenter Server control.

Remote Monitoring AIM

Provides the management and monitoring capabilities of remote (agent-less) systems.

Service Response Monitor (SRM)

Monitors the service response on managed nodes. The Service Response Monitor (SRM) AIM creates monitors utilizing the SystemEDGE state management model and supports deployment and configuration through the CA Virtual Assurance user interface.

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)

Collects device and statistical data from Cisco UCS Manager and provides SNMP support for external applications.

LPAR AIM (AIX PowerVM)

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor the entire system including LPARs.

Microsoft Cluster Server AIM

Monitors Microsoft clusters from a remote system. MSCS monitoring requires remote access to clusters and individual cluster nodes for metric collection such as CPU and memory utilization.

Microsoft Hyper-V AIM

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor Hyper-V Servers.

Exchange Server and Active Directory AIM

Provides capabilities to monitor the Exchange Server and Active Directory on both off-premise and on-premise infrastructure.

Solaris Zones AIM

Provides capabilities to manage and monitor Solaris 10 systems configured to run containers and zones.

KVM AIM

Monitors kernel-based virtual machine environments from a remote system. The KVM AIM communicates with one or more RHEV managers.

Citrix XenServer AIM

Monitors Citrix XenServer environments. The AIM communicates with Pool Master only.
