Come for answers, stay for best practices. All we're missing is you.
We’re in the home stretch with today’s Tip 4 – another great way to simplify your life with IBM Control Center.
Tip 4) Automate and integrate with other applications using RESTful APIs. There’s a lot of value when you can integrate Control Center with other complementary applications to import/export data easily and automate and direct action with other systems. Our IBM Control Center RESTful APIs with read and read/write capabilities simplify the process. For example, some of our customers have internal reporting systems that aggregate data across their environment. To complete a specific weekly report, they need a subset of data from Control Center. Instead of manually finding and adding that data into their reporting system, they use an API to extract that data automatically as part of their workflow. Or think about a use case where you have a system that alerts if a node goes down, or an important SLA is not met. You can use APIs to receive those alerts directly into Control Center, saving you time and a lot of headaches.
Make sure you haven’t missed any of the tips I shared earlier this week. Tip 1 explained how to easily avoid query overload and empower users with “Monitor this.” Tip 2 covered how to set-up direct, permissioned access for business users. Tip 3 focused on an easy path to get started with analytics.
