Install CA Executive Insight on Linux

CA Executive Insight supports business indicators that are mapped to IT metrics. You create business indicators that are based on the available metrics from different data sources in your environment such as CA APM.

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.

Many data sources are supported, such as CA Application Performance Management (CA APM), CA Service Operations Insight (CA SOI), CA Capacity Command Center (CA CCC), and comma-separated values files (CSV files). To retrieve data, add a connector and specify the connection information for the instance.

Before you configure metric connectors and build business indicators for your mobile device users, complete the installation of CA Executive Insight.
