Configure Service Discovery Parameters

You can configure options that affect the way CA Business Service Insight handles service discovery. These configuration options only apply when you use CA Spectrum Service Assurance (SSA) for discovery of your services.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Administration menu click Site Settings, Advanced.

   The Advanced Settings dialog opens.

2. Click the Service Discovery node in the Configuration tree.

   The following options display:

   SA.auto_sync

   Specifies if auto-synchronization with SSA is enabled. Default: yes. If set to no, you can manually sync with SSA from the SSA Settings dialog when you click Administration, Site Settings, SSA Settings.

   SA.default_state

   Specifies the default state for a discovered service: managed or unmanaged. A managed service is listed as an available service on the Services Overview page.

The administrator can change an unmanaged service to a managed service on the Service Discovery and Management page. Default: unmanaged.

   SA.delay

   Specifies the delay after the system starts, to begin service discovery. Default: 100,000 milliseconds.

   SA.enable_calculation

   Sets the default state for SMI calculation for a discovered service. Default: Off.

   SA.overwrite_service

   Specifies to reset the defaults for a service, when it is rediscovered or refreshed. Default: No.

   SA.Password

   Specifies the SSA password.

   SA.period

   Specifies the time period between service discovery events. Default: 8,640,000 milliseconds.

   SA.Server

   SA.sync_option

   Specifies the input unit, by days or hours for SSA synchronization. Default: day.

   SA.User

3. Click the edit icon next to an option and enter the value.
