Update Your Windows Hosts File

During CA Enterprise Log Manager installation, you can identify one or more DNS servers or select Use DHCP. If you selected DHCP, you must update your Windows hosts file on the computer from which you plan to access the CA Enterprise Log Manager with your browser.

To update your hosts file on the host with your browser

  1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc.
  2. Open the hosts file with an editor, for example, Notepad.
  3. Add an entry with the IP address of the CA Enterprise Log Manager server and the corresponding hostname.
  4. Select Save from the File menu, then close the file.
