Summary
This course covers integrating EMS with the managed environment. Adapters are the touch points that allow us to manage the external world using EMS as the control plane. Participants will learn how to build adapters using the most common integration technologies, such as JMX, scripts and Web Services. We also cover how to integrate using other technologies such as SNMP and CIM. Learning is reinforced with demonstrations and hands-on exercises.
