Monitoring with Cisco WAAS › Edit the WAN Opt Monitor Feed

Edit the WAN Opt Monitor Feed

Edit the WAN Opt monitor feed to assign a particular domain to a group of Cisco WAE devices. By default, a new monitor feed is assigned to the Default Domain. The WAN Opt monitor feed, which is available on a CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor, receives packet digest files from WAN-optimization devices, such as a Cisco WAE device.

Note: In a WAAS environment, it is unnecessary to create a pair of WAN Opt monitor feeds. If a location has an additional Cisco WAE for redundancy, simply assign it to a CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor. To enable support for redundancy in a WAAS environment, create a pair of monitor feeds that monitor the server SPAN.

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 to edit a CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor.

    Note that in the Active Feeds column, WAN Opt indicates that a WAN optimization device, such as a Cisco WAE device, is assigned to a monitor.

    If you are not sure which monitor to edit, use the Assigned To column in the WAN Optimization Device List to find its assigned monitor.

    Monitor Properties opens.

  4. Scroll to the Monitor Feeds section and click to edit the WAN Opt monitor feed, and specify the WAN Opt monitor feed settings.

    Note that the monitor feed settings for a WAN Opt monitor feed do not let you configure a Secondary Feed. A secondary monitor feed is not applicable for WAN optimization devices.

  5. Click Update.
  6. 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.
