Managing Data Sources

Data sources are the supported products that provide performance and configuration data to CA Performance Center. Data source products, which perform monitoring, data collection, and data aggregation, can often function independently. However, once they are registered to an instance of CA Performance Center, they are called data sources.

The data sources that are available to CA Performance Center depend on the compatible products that are installed and configured. You register data sources after installing CA Performance Center.

Occasionally, data sources require additional management. If you set up SSL encryption in your environment, you must edit data source connection parameters. A data source log is available to help you troubleshoot issues with data source connections.

Configuration data is automatically synchronized between CA Performance Center and registered data sources every 5 minutes. The status of global synchronization and a list of registered data sources are displayed on the Manage Data Sources page.
