BMC Performance Manager Express Monitoring Studio enable you to fine-tune your monitoring by setting-up string searches and/or numerical value extractions on the return output of monitored instances.

Accessing the String search and Numeric Value extraction features

Both tools are integrated within each application class/monitoring tool.
String searches and/or Numeric Value extractions can be set up during the creation of an application class instance
Both features can also be added later at any time, by going through the Edit Application Class feature
Both features can be modified at any stage by going through the Edit Application Class feature.
The string searches and numeric value extractions run differently on LOG files – where they search only amongst the new lines appended since the last polling; whereas for flat sources, the entire information source is searched (as per the indications specified: what; where etc).

See the sections on String search and Numeric Value extractions for detailed information on how to use these features.

Due to difference between searches on flat sources vs running sources (LOG), string searches and numeric value extractions are specified in different sections: LOG file string search and LOG file numeric value extractions.
