Working with Groups, IP Domains, and Tenants in CA Performance Center › What are IP Domains?

What are IP Domains?

CA Performance Center supports monitoring by IP domain. IP domains are logical groupings that identify data collected from different devices and networks. Monitoring by domain means that IP addresses with associated interfaces or applications that belong to separate customer networks are monitored separately. When combined with appropriate permissions, IP domains are monitored from a single console, but users view data only for the domains that they monitor.

IP domains function much like groups to contain managed items. Like groups, they are created in CA Performance Center, but the task of assigning items to domains is performed in the UC Monitor data source.

IP domains are optional in a standard CA Performance Center installation. However, IP domains are required when you want to deploy CA Performance Center in a multi-tenant environment.

Note: For complete information about managing domains, see the CA Performance Center Administrator Guide.
