Installing and configuring Transaction Tracking Data Collector plug-ins
The Data Collector plug-ins required are determined by the systems that you want to monitor in your environment.
With the exception of MQ Tracking, CICS TXSeries Data Collector, and Data Collector for WebSphere Message Broker that can be installed by the Transaction Tracking installer, the Transaction Tracking Data Collector plug-ins each have their own installer and are installed separately. Use the information in this section to help you determine the Data Collector plug-ins that you require.
