Flexible Data Collection
Library of collectors (generic & prebuilt to EMS/NMS)
The APG Software Suite consolidates performance measurements and events into one unified platform, by collecting data from the network devices, servers, management applications, and transactions.
Collectors are lightweight, multi-threaded components that can be distributed as your managed infrastructure grows. With this architecture, virtually any data source can be collected, ensuring rapid deployment, automatic adaptation to infrastructure changes, a native interface with other OSS components and no double-polling.

CSV/Text
XML/SOAP
SQL
Collects, parses and inserts data from any CSV or text file format.
Collects, parses and inserts data from any XML file.
Executes configured SQL statements on target servers to provide metrics/statistics to insert data.
JMS
JMX
Flows
Subscribes to a JMS Queue, parses messages and stores data.
Collects statistical information from any Java application supporting JMX.
Receives and captures flows to report on the end-to-end conversation data between end nodes.
