2. upload the JvmMetricsAssertion-[version].sjar and name it "JVM Metrics" (without the quotes)
3. service ssg restart
4. PM >Assertions >search: JV, you should now be able to see 'Get JVm Metrics' assertions available for use

Environment

ENV: Gateway 9.3

Resolution

SMFs should be importable with RESTman (see reference in FAQ):
https://docops.ca.com/ca-api-gateway/9-3/en/security-configuration-in-policy-manager/tasks-menu-security-options/manage-server-module-files

User needs to post a server module file as a restman payload.
Please have them consult the restman docs at /restman/1.0/doc/restDoc.html#1.0/serverModuleFiles
They could upload the JVM Metrics assertion to one machine, then export the server module file with restman, then use the entity in that payload to automate installation on other machines.
This is fixed via auto-provisioning bundle
