Monitoring servers from the Product Insights service on IBM Cloud
You can register your on-premises or cloud-based WebSphere® Application Server servers to report usage metrics to the IBM® Cloud Product Insights service on IBM Cloud®. On the Product Insights dashboard, you can view the server information and usage metrics from all of your registered servers and other products in a single place.
The IBM Cloud Product Insights service is being deprecated. After 21 March 2018, new Product Insights service instances cannot be created. Existing service instances will be removed on the end-of-support date, 13 May 2018. For more information, see Service Deprecation: IBM Cloud Product Insights.

If your product installation does not have direct access to the internet, you can configure your installation to route data through an HTTP proxy.
Only you and other users that you authorize on IBM Cloud can control the Product Insights service instance.
