BMC Helix ITOM Integration Service

11+ CREDITS

This Service connects a third-party monitoring or IT infrastructure tool to BMC Helix Intelligent Integration (BHII) for eventual consumption in BMC Helix Operations Management (BHOM), so its events, metrics, topology, alerts or logs can be viewed and acted on in BMC Helix.

It's delivered in one of two ways: a Standard Integration using BMC Helix Intelligent Integration, or an Advanced Integration using REST API.

What you get:

BMC Helix will perform the following for each service selected in one environment:
