Add a Cisco NAM Monitoring Device

The steps required to configure a Cisco NAM monitoring device are summarized below. See the following sections for more information.

1. Configure a Cisco NAM to export computed response time statistics to the management console.
2. Configure the Cisco NAM to export computed response time statistics to the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager.
3. Verify the Cisco NAM is connected to the CA Application Delivery Analysis Manager and is receiving response time statistics from the Cisco NAM Metric Agent.
4. Enable the NAM monitor feed on the management console.
5. (Optional) To optimize the available resources on the Cisco NAM, manually configure the SPAN data source on the Cisco NAM to monitor the same networks, servers, and applications that are monitored by the management console. The Cisco NAM Metric Agent automatically computes response time metrics for all application traffic in the SPAN data source.
6. (Optional) Edit monitoring device incident threshold for inactivity.
