Installing your agents
The IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management infrastructure is
installed and managed by IBM. To monitor your applications,
you select and install the monitoring agents for the applications you want to monitor. You can
install the agents on Linux®, AIX®, or Windows operating systems. The
stand-alone data collectors do not require installation.
If you choose stand-alone data collectors to monitor your applications, you can skip the installation procedure. Continue to Configuring your environment for instructions about how to deploy data collectors for monitoring your applications.
