How to Configure and Monitor the CA ITCM Infrastructure Health

As an administrator, your responsibilities include managing the health of CA ITCM components. The Health Monitoring (HM) feature provides a health inspection mechanism to:

Define CA ITCM health conditions
Monitor the infrastructure periodically
Raise an alert when a defined condition is detected
Notify the administrator by sending an email, raising an SNMP trap, and writing to Windows/CCS event logs.

Use the HM feature to improve the CA ITCM availability and resiliency. The following Illustration summarizes the HM process:
