Register CA Network Flow Analysis with CA Performance Center

Registration takes place on the Manage Data Sources page in the CA Performance Center console.

Note: For information about the number of data sources that a single instance of CA Performance Center supports, see the CA Performance Center Release Notes.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that no one has an active CA Network Flow Analysis session. This precaution prevents problems that can occur from simultaneous write operations to the database.
2. Log in to the CA Performance Center console as a user with the Administrator role.

   Note: Tenant administrators cannot access the Manage Data Sources page.

3. Click Admin, Data Sources.

   The Manage Data Sources page displays the current list of registered data sources.

4. Click New.

   The Data Source Administration dialog opens.

5. Select the type of data source you want to add from the Source Type list.

   Note: All CA products that can be registered as CA Performance Center data sources are shown in the Source Type list. The list is not filtered to show installed products.

6. Enter the Host Name of the data source.

   The hostname is the IP address or DNS hostname of the server where the database for this data source is installed. For a distributed configuration of CA Network Flow Analysis, supply the hostname of the NFA console.

7. Enter the port to use for contacting CA Network Flow Analysis.

   For more information, see the CA Single Sign-On User Guide.

8. Select the protocol to use for contacting the data source. Select https if your network uses SSL for communications. Verify that you have configured the system correctly before you select the https option.

   Note: SSL can be used for communications between CA Performance Center and the data source products. For more information, see the CA Single Sign-On User Guide.

9. (Optional) Enter a Display Name for the CA Network Flow Analysis data source.

   By default, the data source type and the hostname are combined to create the display name. You can supply another name. For example, instead of NetworkFlowAnalysis@xxx.x.x.xx, you can name the data source NetworkFlowAnalysis_NewYork.

10. Confirm whether the web console address is the same as the Host Name. If it is not, take the following steps:
    • Clear the 'Same as Data Source' check box.
    • Provide the web console hostname, port, and protocol.
11. Click Save.

    The Data Source List shows the data sources that are registered.
