===== Unified Infrastructure Manager Plugin =====

==== Purpose ====
  * The Unified Infrastructure Manager plugin gives the possibility to the CA UIM’s “promonitor” probe to collect metrics, alarms and metadata
  * Once active, this plugin will collect all generated alerts, metrics and metadata and store them waiting for the probe to collect them
  * To limit memory usage the number of element temporally stored is limited

==== Configuration ====
  * Some configuration needs to be done in Pro.Monitor, but also at CA UIM side

=== Pro.Monitor ===
  * From the plugin menu, select type Unified Infrastructure Manager and create the plugin, this will open plugin configuration screen
  * Fill the plugin settings form:
    * **Enabled:** To enable or disable the plugin
    * **Name:** The name of the plugin to display in the list of plugins
    * **IP(s) allowed to collect:** The IP(s) of the robot(s) with a promonitor probe installed that are allowed to collect data from Pro.Monitor
    * **Max message queue size:** The maximum number of alerts or metrics waiting in the output buffer. Used to limit the memory usage if events are created faster than consumed.

=== CA UIM ===
  * Pro.Monitor can send metrics and alerts to CA UIM. This is possible via a dedicated UIM **probe** that will pull data from Pro.Monitor and inject it in UIM database.
  * Deploy the **promonitor** probe on a robot
  * Edit the probe configuration with %%raw edit%%
  * Set Pro.Monitor server host and port
  * Start the probe

**Note:** If the promonitor probe is deployed on the same robot than **sapbasis_agentil** probe, the former configuration file will be automatically uploaded in Pro.Monitor and available in the **Snapshots** menu

=== Import configuration from sapbasis_agentil to Pro.Monitor ===
  * From the snapshot menu, upload sapbasis_agentil.json file like any regular snapshot file.
  * Apply the uploaded configuration. This will replace any existing configuration

**Note:** This operation will not replace the current licences of Pro.Monitor
