The CMS collects machine diagnostic data from all CA DataMinder servers and client machines in the machine hierarchy. This data underlies the diagnostic machine and user searches available in the Administration console. To minimize network impact, you can configure when and how this diagnostic data is collected.
Diagnostic Machine Searches
The Administration console includes a wide range of diagnostic machine searches. Typically, these are searches to identify machines that require your attention. For example, you can search for machines that are suspended or which cannot be contacted, or which are running out-of-date software.
In addition, CA DataMinder includes specific diagnostic support for replication problems in the form of checkpoints. These are replication markers sent to all CA DataMinder machines and which require an acknowledgment from each recipient. They enable administrators to check child machines are up-to-date in terms of policy updates and other infrastructure data. The Administration console includes several checkpoint-based machine searches.
Diagnostics Policy Settings
You can configure the CMS to control when it collects diagnostic data. You can also control the network impact by changing the number of collection threads and specifying how long it spends collecting this data. Finally, you can update the account login status for any anomalies identified in the diagnostic data.
To configure the collection of diagnostic data, you edit settings in the CMS or gateway machine policy. Browse to the Diagnostics policy folder.
