    Hello,

     

    A good place to start is the APM Bookshelf.....CA Application Performance Management Release 9.6

    This is has guides to most of the major features of APM.

    Hello, you can install a VM to install. One of the best ways to learn

     

    I also have a long experience with HP (over 10 years) and believe me: there's nothing like Introscope! <3

     

    If you need some help ...

    Read this document APM - Installation and Upgrade Guide.pdf which is in Bookshelf, download binaries and perform a fresh install

    To play, you can test with CentOS.

    HI,

     

      Here goes the basic steps:

    - First you go through the guides

    - Then try to install the Enterprise Manger, Workstation, Agents following "install and upgrade doc" from bookshelf

    - Then try installaing other agents like java agnet, .net agent and EPA agent based on your requirements.

    - You do have many power packs also. You have clear guides for each and every thing.

    - Check in  support.ca.com

    A starting point would always be from APM Bookshelf.

    1. Getting Started Guide (GSG)
    2. Installation and upgrade Guide should help you understand the basic architecture. To start with, you just need one EM and one Agent, and both can be on the same physical box. You can always use VMs, so that the test application to be monitored goes with the Introscope Agent. The "Java Agent Guide" will be helpful for getting the agent installed.

    3. "Introscope Workstation Guide" will show many things one can do with the product.

    Have a great learning time.
