Monitoring System Health with the Linux SystemEDGE Agent

Monitoring System Health with the Linux SystemEDGE Agent

With the Linux SystemEDGE agent for CA Infrastructure Management, you can monitor the health of the servers in your system that host the Data Repository, the Data Aggregator, the Data Collector, and CA Performance Center.

Note: Monitoring system health is optional. You are not required to download the Linux SystemEdge agent.

Install the agent on the distributed servers that you want to monitor. Then, with CA Performance Center, you can discover the agent on these servers and visualize agent data such as CPU, memory, file systems, and other critical resources for each server.
