(1) Monitoring target programs

PFM - Agent for Platform monitors the following programs:

These monitoring target programs and PFM - Agent for Platform must be installed on the same host.

(2) Performance Management programs

Install PFM - Agent and PFM - Base on the monitoring agent. PFM - Base is a prerequisite program for PFM - Agent. Even if you have multiple copies of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM installed on the same host, you need only a single copy of PFM - Base. However, when you install PFM - Base on a PFM - Agent host, be sure to use version 10-00. For details about the relationships between Performance Management program versions and the hosts on which they may be installed, see the chapter that describes system configuration version compatibility in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

If you are installing PFM - Manager and PFM - Agent on the same host, you do not need PFM - Base.

To use PFM - Agent for Platform to monitor the operation of Windows Server, you need PFM - Manager and PFM - Web Console.

The following table lists the versions of PFM - Manager and PFM - Base supported by PFM - Agent for Platform.
