View Security Object Performance Data in the Time Series Facility

The Time Series Facility (TSF) stores data that is collected and provided by CA products. TSF provides a single point for collection, storage, management, and organization of the product data. When you request a Time Series chart from the Investigator, TSF provides the data content for the chart.

Note: For detailed common TSF concepts and procedures, see the CA Chorus Product Guide.

For CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management, use TSF to display and review security statistics. For example, you can add a security system to the TSF and then analyze the cache calls received contributors. By monitoring the ratio between cache calls and cache hits, you can evaluate the performance boost compared to running the same load without the cache feature enabled.

When you add a security object to TSF, it becomes an entity. You can use this entity to create a chart. Doing so lets you determine trends and identify valid anomalies. The TSF charts allow up to four lines.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the Investigator to your dashboard and click Start New Investigation.
2. Select Security from the drop-down list.
3. Select Statistics from the folder list.
4. Select your system.
5. Select Statistics Reporting
6. Highlight a row of statistics and click Add Entity to Time Series in the Actions Pane.

   You can now review these statistics in TSF.
