Issue/Introduction

Can UIM route alaerts to APM?

Environment

Release : 9.1.0

Component : UIM - UMP_NAS

Cause

NA

Resolution

Currently due to the way APM works, UIM cannot route alerts to APM.

APM can send data to UIM but not the other way around. Unless a client app can send data TO the APM agent.

APM takes data in from Java agents and .NET agents. So you'd have to 'hook' the APM agent to UIM. One other possibility is via EPAgent of which you can run a script with but it would have to harness UIM data somehow. There is no direct way from UIM to APM.
