Configure the Product to Work with Performance Center

To complete some essential administration tasks, you must register CA Network Flow Analysis with Performance Center (either CA Performance Center or CA NetQoS Performance Center). Once you register the product and complete the administration tasks, operators can see meaningful reports in the NFA console and in the Performance Center Console.

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

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

These tasks are described in the following topics.
