BMC Performance Manager Express Monitoring Studio does not support a specific set of platforms per se for the managed elements. The product provides a set of tools that allows the user to interrogate and retrieve information from a managed element through a set of protocols. These protocols are in turn supported by an open-ended range of systems, hardware devices and software components.
The protocols used by BMC Performance Manager Express Monitoring Studio include:
| • | JDBC (Java API for database connections) |
| • | JMX (JBoss, JOnAS, IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, Sun) |
| • | WMI (WBEM through RPC on Windows) |
The table below recapitulates the managed elements that can be monitored through each protocol and the potential pre-requisites on the managed element.
