Populate IP Domains with CA Unified Communications Monitor

In the CA Unified Communications Monitor management console, you can instruct collectors to associate the items they discover with custom domains in CA Performance Center. The act of creating a single custom domain in CA Performance Center enables domain associations for Locations, voice gateways, and call servers in any registered data sources.

Items appear with domain designations as soon as they are discovered from call traffic. Items discovered previously do not receive retroactive associations.

Locations are automatically associated with IP domains by the subnets that they contain. To preserve the flow of data collection and the appropriate association of data with IP domains, take care when moving Locations to new IP domains. Follow the procedure provided in the CA Unified Communications Monitor online Help to change IP domain assignments.

Note: Any managed items that are not associated with a custom IP domain by a data source are associated with the Default Domain. This assignment is transparent to users who are not deploying custom IP domains.

Instruct collectors to associate items with custom IP domains.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, Data Collection, Collectors.
2. Edit each collector to select its domain for the IP Domain parameter.
3. Reload the collectors to send them the domain information.

   Domains are populated with managed items after the next product synchronization.
