The table below recapitulates the monitoring features usually required in order to monitor a custom application or any IT component for which no standard monitoring solution already exists. The table shows whether a feature is available in each solution and its capability if present.
Features comparison between BMC Performance Manager for Servers and Monitoring Studio
As the table clearly shows, Monitoring Studio provides a much more complete feature set regarding standard needs in order to monitor a custom application. On the other hand, the purpose of the BMC Performance Manager for Servers solution is to ensure that the underlying operating system (Windows, UNIX, Linux or OpenVMS) is functioning properly and is not meant to provide a simple way to monitor anything running on this operating system. What BMC Performance Manager for Servers does offer however is the ability to develop a custom monitoring solution using PSL.
This is a completely different task that is covered in the Monitoring Studio vs. Development of a Custom Solution section.
