Setting Up CA Performance Center › IP Domains › Associating Items with IP Domains

Associating Items with IP Domains

Although you create IP domains in CA Performance Center, the data sources associate items with domains. Each data source assigns domain IDs to the items it discovers from monitoring data traffic. Therefore, no managed items receive domain associations until the data source administrators set collection parameters.

A tenant only contains the items in its own tenant IP domains. Therefore, tenant dashboards are empty until:

• An IP domain is associated with the tenant.
• Synchronization has occurred between CA Performance Center and the data sources.
• The data sources have been configured to associate managed items with IP domains.

We recommend creating IP domains as soon as you create each tenant. Follow the recommended workflow described in How IP Domains Are Configured.

Knowledge of IP address schemes for all networks in all monitored enterprise systems is required to verify that domains are populated correctly.
