Add the Monitoring Device

Add the CA Standard Monitor to the management console to begin reporting.

When adding a monitoring device that is not currently available on the network, after the monitor is available on the network, synchronize the monitoring device to establish communication between the monitor and the management console.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.
3. Click Add ADA Monitor under the Show Me menu.

   Standard Monitor Properties opens.

4. Complete the fields in Standard Monitor Properties. For information about specifying the monitoring device properties, click Help.

   When specifying a Monitor NIC, make sure to specify the packet source. For example, if the packets are sourced from a Steelhead Physical In-Path configuration, choose the Riverbed WAN Physical In-Path option.

5. Click OK.

   The monitor appears in the ADA Monitoring Device List.

6. Synchronize monitoring devices with the current client network, server subnet, and application definitions on the management console by clicking the link.

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

   After 5-10 minutes, the Optimization page is displayed.

7. Click Help on the Optimization page for information about reporting on WAN-optimized applications.

   If you do not see data for your application, troubleshoot the monitoring device.

8. If you are using domains to separate duplicate IP traffic, edit the Steelhead monitor feed to assign a domain.
