Integrate CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP with CA Introscope › Specify the Performance Monitoring Metrics to Send

Specify the Performance Monitoring Metrics to Send

The Workstation Investigator lists the Performance Monitoring metrics under the IP Resources metric category. You can configure the CA NetMaster NM for TCP/IP region to send these metrics to CA Introscope.

Note: To configure the region to monitor a metric (or attribute), see the CA NetMaster Network Management for TCP/IP Implementation Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the region.
2. Identify the attributes that are monitored for an IP resource or node, and if applicable, qualifier name:
   1. Enter /IPMON to access IP Resource Monitor or /IPNODE to access IP Node Monitor.
   2. Find the IP resource or node, and enter H next to it.

      A list of attributes appears.

   3. Find the required attributes, and note down the following information, including any special characters:
      • Resource class
      • Resource name
      • Attribute name
      • Qualifier name

      Note: Do not include attributes of the ENUM type. The region does not send this type of attributes to CA Introscope.

      Note: To avoid metric explosions and other overheads, the region can send a maximum of 64 resource-qualifier-attribute combinations.

3. Specify the attributes:
   1. Enter /PARMS at the Command prompt.

      A list of parameter groups appears.

   2. Enter F APMEPAGENT.

      The command finds the parameter group that enables the data feed.

   3. Enter U next to the parameter group.
   4. Specify YES in the Performance Monitoring field.
   5. Press F8 (Forward).

      A panel appears for you to specify the attributes you want to send.

   6. Specify the resource-qualifier-attribute combinations that you noted in Step 2c in the indicated syntax, for example:

      ASMON(IKED TCPIP11V-UDP(500)) AsBytesInByPort
      APPNHPR(APPNHPR) RTPsARBRed
      CSM(CSM NET) DataSpaceTotalInUse
      EE(EE USILDA01.NMDCIP2) EEBytesByCP
      IPNODE(NMDCIP3 FastEthernet0/0) CiscoifOutPkts
      CIP(NMDCIP3 192.168.82.232) CLAWReadBlks
      OSA(OSA-00 TCPIP99-P4) PriorityQueueStatus
      STACK(TCPIP31 172.24.*) ConActiveByNet
      VIPA(DVIPA CO31-TCPIP) ConConnectsByStack
      

      Note: For more information, press F1 (Help).

   7. Press F4 (Save).
   8. Press F6 (Action).

      Your changes become effective immediately. The current metric feed connection stops; then a new metric feed connection starts, including the Performance Monitoring metrics. You can see the values of these metrics at CA Introscope after the first sampling interval.
