  • 1.  Will APM (Introscope) JDBC integration also extract data from Smartstor ?

    Posted Mar 16, 2018 10:03 AM

    We have an integration which uses JDBC mechanism described here https://docops.ca.com/ca-apm/10-1/en/integrating/api-reference-guide/jdbc-api.
    Will this also extract data from Smartstor  ?

    Hi rmckeown,

    when you launch a metric query, you are extracting data from Smartstor, so the answer is yes.

     

    Regards

    Thanks . .the prompt response is much appreciated :-)

     

    Our confusion was over a distinction between Postgres and Smartor - Does Smartstor use Postgres ?

    Smartstor does not use Postgres.  Smartstor is a flat file db while Postgres is not.  Neither talk to each other and are entirely separated.

    Hi Robert,

    To add some more background.

    APM has 2 "databases":

    1. SmartStor proprietary flat file DB
    2. Postgres or Oracle relational "APM DB" (historically named cemdb and used for CEM data but expanded to hold Triage Map/Team Center data)

    As stated above the JDBC API you referred to (JDBC API - CA Application Performance Management - 10.1 - CA Technologies Documentation ) just accesses the SmartStor.

    Some of the other APIs access the APM DB

    Hope that helps
