boom to HP OMU Integration Module

b2om - this Server to Server integration module converts boom events into HP Operations Manager messages and passes them on to the OMU Server. The integration module can be configured to automatically delete all events from the boom server that have been successfully forwarded to the OMU server. This greatly reduces maintenance in Proxy environments.

b2om uses the Java based Message Stream Interface of the OMU Server for a maximum throughput and a minimum delay for submitting new messages.

All the necessary Message Keys and Fields are set in the converted messages to enable a seamless processing by the OMU Server including Auto-Acknowledgements and Duplicate Detection.
In addition the boom Custom Attributes as well as additional boom related fields are submitted as OMU Custom Message Attributes. These provide additional classifications (e.g. Availability and KPI Status) and enable an easy identification of the source in the OMU console.
Closed messages will be submitted directly to the history.

The module acts as boom server client and therefore can be fully configured with filter rules to specify which messages get forwarded to OMU. Various OMU integrations scenarios can be achieved with some simple configuration settings. Here are some examples:

• Time based Side by Side Management
  enables local IT departments to work with boom during the office hours while during the off-shift time all events are passed on to OMU

• Time based OMU Server Switch
  events are forwarded to different OMU servers based on the actual time

• Element Manager
  only events for specific hosts, applications or groups will be forwarded to OMU

• Proxy Manager
  all events are forwarded to OMU
