CA Detector Statistics Gathering Overview

The Time Series Facility (TSF) displays application performance data in CA Chorus. Before you can view application performance data using TSF, start statistics gathering in CA Detector. Statistics gathering is the process of collecting system statistics and sending data to TSF for a specific time frame (collection interval).

Note: This configuration is not required for integration with CA Chorus Infrastructure Management for Networks and Systems.

Important! This step must be performed manually outside of CA Chorus Software Manager.

The following diagram shows the statistics gathering configuration for a single enterprise:

This diagram shows a configuration whereby three LPARs with three separate CA Detector collection areas feed data to the Time Series Facility repository.

In the previous diagram, CA Detector passes collection data automatically from each DB2 subsystem being monitored (LPAR A, B, and C) to TSF when a collection interval ends using the TPDTFEED started task. The TSF relay passes data to TSF from remote LPAR A and C. TSF saves the data in the TSF repository.

To load CA Detector collection data to TSF automatically, complete the following steps:
1. Customize and submit the TPDTCOPY batch job in your_db2tools_hlq.CDBASAMP.
2. Customize the TPDTFEED started task in your_db2tools_hlq.CDBASAMP.
3. Automate the started task using CA OPS/MVS or another message processing and scheduling service. (REXX EXEC TPDT0170 is provided in in your_db2tools_hlq.CDBASAMP.)
To load CA Detector collection data manually when an automation service like CA OPS/MVS is not available, use the TPDTHIST batch job in your_db2tools_hlq.CDBASAMP.
