Configure CA Network Flow Analysis to Work with CA Performance Center

CA Network Flow Analysis must be registered with CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center, so that essential administration tasks can be completed.

Once you have registered CA Network Flow Analysis and have completed the needed administration tasks, operators can see meaningful reports in CA Network Flow Analysis and in CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center.

To configure CA Network Flow Analysis properly, you must perform the following tasks:

• Register CA Network Flow Analysis as a data source for CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center.
• Set up the following elements in CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center:
  • SNMP profiles
  • IP domains
  • User accounts, permissions, and roles
  • Groups
• Add Harvesters.
• (Three-tier distributed architecture only) Add DSAs.
• Enable the routers and interfaces to export flows.
• Verify that CA Network Flow Analysis is receiving data from the interfaces.

These tasks are described in the following topics.
