How a CA Standard Monitor Works as a Monitoring Device

A CA Standard Monitor serves as a type of monitoring device for CA Application Delivery Analysis. The CA Standard Monitor passively monitors data center traffic from up to 2 ports and helps keep a continuous record of end-to-end system performance. A CA Standard Monitor resides on the same server as the management console; therefore, the management console is aware of the monitor. You can deploy additional monitoring devices to passively monitor mirrored TCP traffic from a server switch port. In addition, the CA Standard Monitor computes response time metrics for other types of monitoring devices, such as a CA GigaStor.
