Monitoring Device Operations

Perform basic operations on some or all monitoring devices such as synchronize monitoring devices to collect performance data based on the client networks, server subnets, and applications that are currently defined on the management console. In the ADA Monitoring Devices List, use the blue gear menu to perform basic operations.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Administration page.
  2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.
  3. Scroll to the ADA Monitoring Device List and click the blue gear menu to perform basic operations on all of the monitoring devices in the list.
  4. (Optional) To perform a basic operation on a particular monitoring device, browse the list and click the edit icon . On the Standard Monitor Properties page, click the blue gear menu and choose a command:
    Start

    Starts data monitoring on a monitor with a status of Stopped. While the monitor is Stopped, the monitor does not process response time metrics from any of its monitor feeds.

    If the management console cannot communicate with the monitor, log onto the CA Standard Monitor to start the CA ADA Monitor service.

    Stop

    Stops data monitoring on a monitor with a status of Running. While the monitor is Stopped, the monitor does not process response time metrics from any of its monitor feeds.

    Synchronize Monitor Devices

    Updates the data monitoring configuration on a monitor to collect performance data based on the client networks, server subnets, and applications that are currently defined.

    Reboot

    Reboots a CA Standard Monitor or CA Virtual Systems Monitor. This command is not applicable to a CA Multi-Port Monitor.

    If the management console cannot communicate with the monitor, log onto the monitor to reboot it.

    Shut Down

    Powers down a CA Standard Monitor or CA Virtual Systems Monitor. To power up a CA Standard Monitor or CA Virtual Systems Monitor after you shut it down, you must do so from the monitor. This command is not applicable to a CA Multi-Port Monitor.

    If the management console cannot communicate with the monitor, log onto the CA Standard Monitor to shut it down.
