A metric connector creates a connection between a data source and the CA Executive Insight application. After the connection is established, the application retrieves IT metrics from the data source and publishes the metric data as business indicators in a dashboard.
CA Executive Insight supports such data sources as CA APM, CA SOI, and CSV files. To retrieve data, you add a connector and specify the connection information for the instance.
To retrieve metric data from multiple instances, you add multiple connectors.
To retrieve data for basic business indicators, a connector supporting the poll interface polls the current values of the selected IT metrics from the instance. In the case of connectors supporting the push interface, like the CSV Connector, the indicator data gets pushed when CSV files are uploaded against the connector.
