Hi Anne,

Effective Technologies, a BMC partner, did the following for searching through 
Remedy Data.
Product Name is : Platform Advisor
Description:
BMC Remedy Platform Advisor Splunk application allows Remedy administrators to 
see what’s possible. This sample application includes searches and dashboards 
that show how Remedy administrators can better manage their Remedy platform 
with real-time data insights from their environment. In some cases we’ve 
leveraged DBConnect to collect critical data from within the Remedy 
applications that is currently difficult to monitor and manage.

What is Does:
* AR Server performance monitoring
* AR Server Error and issue monitoring
* AR search performance (which users are running the longest running searches, 
top forms searched, etc.)
* User activity and license usage
* Notification activity and issues
* Ease of troubleshooting workflow issues (filter and escalation) when they 
occur
Additional areas of interest we've implemented for customers include some of 
the following:
* AR Report performance monitoring
* Mid tier performance and errors
* CMDB reconciliation activity and errors
* AR Plugin monitoring

Why not use Apache Solr to do the job for you?

If you use Solr, combine it with the freely downloadable JDBC drivers from 
Microsoft and you can index data in the underlying database at will. The 
indexing process can be controlled and it can do delta updates so your 
performance is not negatively impacted. With a little time spent customizing 
the Velocity templating, you can present a pretty usable, google-style, search 
interface out of the box. Similarly, Solr supports web services, so if had a 
developer team handy, they could create a custom web interface for you.

Solr can also be configured into single installation, multi-core configuration, 
or a multiple node installation on a private solr cloud (using Apache Zookeeper 
for communications) with multiple collections (think of them as being 
collections of books) so that each database or application can have it's own 
search engine.

The appliation is entirely written with Java, and I can speak from personal 
experience (I've built installations in both configurations to search 
databases, sharepoint, office documents, network shares, rss feeds, etc.) that 
the software runs like a mint on both Windows, or *nix platforms.

Take the combination one step further and use Apache ManifoldCF, and not only 
can you index the web, but also file shares, office documents, sharepoint 
installations, other database, imap servers, etc. Add the replacement search 
handler that ManifoldCF has, and it can authenticate users against your 
internal domain before they search.

Add Banana and get near real time dashboards of your server with clickable 
charts. And if you add logstash and lumberjack, you can also add log data from 
your servers into the search index.

Just asking... I mean, all of these applications are open source and cost 
nothing, not to mention that they routinely get used in many major companies.

Hi, all –

I remember at WWRUG one of our partners had a very robust search engine/tool 
that could be used to go though Remedy data and, I think, data external to 
Remedy. I can’t remember the partner, of course; anyone know who it is?
 
Apologize for vagueness, but it’s been a few years…
