Understand CA Infrastructure Management Metrics in CA Executive Insight

CA Executive Insight uses only CA Infrastructure Management group-level metrics belonging to the custom user-created CA Infrastructure Management groups. You can limit the number of CA Infrastructure Management groups available to CA Executive Insight by creating an EI Root Group in CA Infrastructure Management. You create this group as a parent of all groups or group hierarchies to be used in CA Executive Insight. The default name for the EI Root Group name is 'EI-Root,' but any valid CA Infrastructure Management group name can be used.

The following group metrics are predefined to be selected and presented as CA Executive Insight business indicators:

• Average availability
• Average response time
• CPU utilization
• Memory utilization
• Port average utilization

CA Executive Insight polls and aggregates CA Infrastructure Management metric data periodically. Newly created business indicators are polled and aggregated within 2 minutes from the moment that they are created, and then at their regularly scheduled times. Average availability, Average response time, CPU utilization, and Memory utilization metrics are polled every 5 minutes for a 5-minute data granularity. The Port average utilization metric is polled every 15 minutes for a 15-minute data granularity. The collected data is aggregated hourly and daily.
