Perform Basic Operations

In the CA GigaStor Device list, use the blue gear menu to perform basic operations on all of your CA GigaStor appliances, including start and stop the CA GigaStor Connector, and synchronize monitoring.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.
3. Click the blue gear menu in the GigaStor Device List to perform basic operations on all of your CA GigaStor appliances. To perform a basic operation, browse the list and click the edit icon , and click the blue gear menu :

   Start

   Start the Connector. While the Connector has a Running status, it sends packet digest files to its assigned monitor for management console reports.

   Stop

   Stop the Connector. While the Connector has a Stopped status, the CA GigaStor continues to write packets to disk, but the Connector does not send packet digest files to its assigned monitor. Data gaps in management console reports can be resolved by viewing the actual data on the CA GigaStor using the CA Observer Expert.

   Synchronize Monitor Devices

   Synchronize the CA GigaStor to collect performance data based on the client networks, server subnets, and applications that are currently defined on the Console.
