IDirect Pulse Terminal Manager
With the iDirect Pulse Terminal Manager connector, you can monitor terminal components of an iDirect Pulse NMS.
About
With this connector, iDirect terminals can be monitored. Other components should be monitored using the iDirect Pulse Manager connector. Multiple terminal manager elements can be created, to spread the load and trend data over multiple DataMiner Agents.
The iDirect Pulse manager is responsible for the distribution of the terminals that should be polled by this element.
After an outage, all missing data will be polled and set to the element using history sets.
All data is retrieved over HTTP using the web service API.
