When setting up Metric Intelligence, you must configure a source for metric collection. Metric collection can be performed either by the Agent Client Collector, or by metric connectors.

The metric collection source determines where Metric Intelligence gathers metrics from. For details on gathering metrics using Agent Client Collector, see [Configuring Agent Client Collector Monitoring](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/b7O~Q98iJI04IXPvc49HCQ "Plan and configure your Agent Client Collector Monitoring implementation.").

When gathering metrics with connectors, use either a SCOM or Dynatrace connector. For details on connecting metrics using a SCOM connector, see [Configure the SCOM connector instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ijO2SAb_Q_mOPVevXdFWkA "Configure the Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) connector instance to receive alerts and Metric Intelligence raw data from the SCOM server.").

For details on connecting metrics using a Dynatrace connector, see [Configure the Dynatrace metrics connector instance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/TdFqll8hgoxu0cRemYNznA "Configure the Dynatrace connector instance to receive Metric Intelligence raw data from the Dynatrace server.").
