Key Features
Quickly integrates third-party data sources
Using simple XML descriptions, the collector for XML and CSV provides fast deployment capabilities and ease of configuration allowing you to start monitoring these legacy/third-party tools quickly.
Leverage existing monitoring and systems management investments
The Collector for XML and CSV is perfectly adapted to leverage legacy systems and third-party tools capable to export statistics and topology information.
Customize data collection
The XML and CSV collector can be configured to adapt to any valid XML file or CSV file containing statistical data. The collector is a lightweight process that can be distributed across the environment, for maximum scalability, flexibility, and security ends.
