Is there an API for adding/managing data collectors?

Tom Malaher Nov 11, 2016 12:41 PM

I have over 100 very similar collectors to add, and don't really want to do all the GUI pointy-clicky operations that would be required (and which are potentially error-prone, not to mention boring).

Is there some sort of REST or WS-* endpoint that allows for programmatic management of data collectors, hosts, etc?

Answered my own question. There's a REST API that can add/change/remove hosts:

Developing - BMC TrueSight IT Data Analytics 2.5 - BMC Documentation

And there is a command line for managing collectors:

You should also explore to see if collection profiles help. You can create a collection profile, and apply it to the various hosts. This is useful if you have very similar applications hosted on the various hosts, or if you have very similar data being monitored from these hosts.
