SiteScope can act as a discovery probe and discover the hierarchy of the monitored entities of selected environments. These hierarchies are represented by topologies that SiteScope reports to BSM. The CIs within the topologies correspond to the hosts, servers, and applications that SiteScope monitors, and are created in BSM's RTSM. Monitor and measurement CIs are also created and SiteScope reports their status to BSM. The relationships between the CIs are defined by the topology reported by SiteScope.
You enable this feature by selecting the Report monitor and related CI topology option under the HP Integration Settings panel when creating or configuring a monitor instance. If this option is cleared, the CIs that were created in RTSM are not automatically deleted. If there is no activity on the CI, they are eventually removed from the database through aging or they must be manually deleted.

This direct connection between SiteScope and BSM is available for selected environments only. SiteScope reports specific topologies for the following monitors (documentation for these monitors is available from the HP SiteScope Monitor Reference in the SiteScope Help):

Monitors Reporting Node Topology |
This includes all monitors that report the status of a host or server (other than Technology Integration monitors and the supported environments listed below) that can forward topology data to BSM using a predefined CI type such as Node, Computer, or some other child CI type derivative. When topology reporting is enabled, SiteScope forwards the topology along with monitor CI data to BSM. For details on this option, see Note: This does not include monitors that do not monitor the status of a host or server, since it is not possible to know the CI type that is being monitored in advance. For the list of monitors without host data, see Monitors Not Reporting Topology Data By Default. |
