Setting Up CA Performance Center › Managing Data Sources › View a List of Data Sources

View a List of Data Sources

The Manage Data Sources page shows an inventory of registered data sources—the monitoring products that make data available for reporting.

The Manage Data Sources page lets you perform tasks that are associated with data sources. The page also shows the Global Synchronization Status—the last time that CA Performance Center contacted each data source for configuration and performance data.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administrator role.
2. Select Admin, Data Source Settings, and click Data Sources.

   The Manage Data Sources page displays the current list of data sources. If you have not registered any data sources, the list is empty.

   The following information is listed for each data source:

   Source Name

   Identifies the data source.

   Status

   Show the status of the data source with respect to CA Performance Center. Often indicates a synchronization phase. For more information, see Synchronization.

   Last Polled On

   Indicates the time of the last successful synchronization. Normal synchronization occurs automatically every 5 minutes.

   Source Type

   Is the type of data source.

   Version

   Is the product version of the data source software.

3. Perform any action on this page by selecting a data source and clicking a button.

   Use the buttons to perform the following tasks:

   Resync All

   Instructs the Device Manager service to initiate an incremental resynchronization with all data sources serially.

   Resync

   Initiates an immediate synchronization of the selected data source. Synchronization includes pushing all recently changed user, menu, and group settings to the data sources. Although synchronization occurs automatically every 5 minutes, this button starts it immediately. For more information, see Synchronization.

   Test

   Runs a test to confirm that a new data source has been registered and is connected. A message provides test results.

   Log

   Opens the Data Source Log page for a selected data source. The data source log includes events that are associated with data sources and synchronization.

   New

   Registers a new data source.

   Edit

   Lets you modify data source parameters.

   Remove

   Unregisters a selected data source. This action removes a selected data source from the list of data sources. For most data sources, removal releases product administration features that became read-only during registration. Once removed, a data source can be registered to another instance of CA Performance Center.
