Populating IP Domains with CA Application Delivery Analysis

CA Application Delivery Analysis can observe duplicate IP traffic. Such traffic occurs in a managed service provider (MSP) environment. The provider can host an application on a single server for multiple customers whose environments contain overlapping client IP addresses.

You enable CA Application Delivery Analysis to identify separate IP traffic during data collection setup. As you verify and modify data collection parameters, assign the same IP domain to the appropriate:

With the same IP domain assignments for these feeds, CA Application Delivery Analysis reports on the application traffic between a client and a server by domain.

Applications are domain-independent. Therefore, you are not required to define the same application twice, such as Exchange Company A and Exchange Company B, to enable CA Application Delivery Analysis to report on application performance across domains. However, to set different thresholds for application performance, performance OLAs, and availability OLAs, create an application for each IP domain.

If you do not need to separate duplicate IP traffic, you can use the DNS settings in the Default Domain to query DNS and resolve the hostname of a CA Application Delivery Analysis server. Otherwise, CA Application Delivery Analysis uses the monitor feed that is assigned to the server to resolve the hostname.
