Monitoring with a CA Standard Monitor › Edit the Packets Monitor Feed

Edit the Packets Monitor Feed

The Packets monitor feed receives mirrored TCP packets from the monitor NIC on the CA Standard Monitor. Edit the Packets monitor feed to:

• Change the default name for the monitor feed.
• Assign a particular domain. By default, a new monitor feed is assigned to the Default Domain. If you are not using domains to separate duplicate IP traffic, this is not applicable.
• Create a pair of monitor feeds to enable the management console to automatically collect data for assigned servers from both monitor feeds.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.

   The ADA Monitoring Device List opens.

3. Click to edit a CA Standard Monitor with an active Packets monitor feed.

   Standard Monitor Properties opens.

   Note: The Standard Monitor type includes both the CA Standard Monitor and the CA Virtual Systems Monitor. If necessary, verify the monitor IP address.

4. Click under Monitor Feeds to edit the Packets monitor feed.
5. Edit the Packets monitor feed properties to assign a secondary feed or domain.
6. Click Update.
7. Click the link to synchronize monitoring devices with the current client network, server subnet, and application definitions on the management console.

   Monitoring devices temporarily stop monitoring application performance during synchronization. To minimize interruptions to monitoring, complete all of your changes before synchronizing monitoring devices.
