Monitoring with Cisco NAM › Add a Cisco NAM Monitoring Device › Enable the NAM Monitor Feed

Enable the NAM Monitor Feed

By default, the NAM monitor feed is disabled.

The management console creates a single NAM monitor feed to process metric digest files from the Cisco NAM devices in your environment. To process the metric digest files, enable the NAM monitor feed.

If you no longer intend to use a Cisco NAM as a monitoring device for the management console, you can optimize available system resources by disabling the NAM monitor feed. To disable the NAM monitor feed, delete the CA Standard Monitor that resides on the management console.

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 browse the list to find the CA Standard Monitor with the same Management IP address as the management console.

   Use the Address column to identify the Management IP address of the monitor. The CA Standard Monitor and the console share the same Management IP address.

4. Click to edit the CA Standard Monitor with the same management IP address as the management console. If necessary, click Add ADA Monitor to add a CA Standard Monitor with the same management IP address as the management console.

   Standard Monitor Properties opens.

5. Select an option to enable or disable NAM monitoring and click OK:
   • Enable NAM Monitor
   • Disable Packet Monitor

   The NAM Device List displays any Cisco NAM blades or appliances that are exporting response time data to the management console.
