Question & Answer
Question
We are using APM V8.1.4 monitoring solution.
We have the agent working for IBM Integration Bus V10 monitoring, but it is not displaying correct data for our nodes in the new App Connect Enterprise (ACE) installation.
Can ACE V11 be monitored by IIB monitoring agent?
Cause
Initial versions of APM IIB monitoring agent did not support App Connect Enterprise (ACE).
Support for ACE V11 was added in IIB agent version in APM agents 8.1.4.0.7 package.
NOTE: The App Connect Enterprise (ACE) is new product release for products previously known as IBM Integration Bus or IIB or WebSphere Message Broker (WMB).
Answer
IIB agent in APM agent fixpack 8.1.4.0.7 or higher supports App Connect Enterprise V11 monitoring.
