Display Settings

The Display Settings page lets you select preferences for the dashboards that you view in CA Performance Center.

View Suppression

By default, some dashboards contain data views that lack data. A message states, "No Data to Display".

A data view can be empty because of a configuration or connectivity issue. For views that report on technologies such as CBQoS, MPLS, or IP SLA, default views can be empty because the device that is selected for the view or page context is not configured to support that technology.

But in some cases, views are always empty because they lack a data source. Enable View Suppression to hide views when the required data source is not registered, or when a required technology is not configured.

Enabling the 'Suppress Views' option on the Display Settings page hides data views that lack a registered data source until that data source is registered. When the data source that populates a view is registered, that view is no longer hidden. Similar behavior applies to context tabs and custom menus. As long as a menu or tab has one view that is not suppressed, the custom menu or tab is still displayed.

Item Name Display Option

If your user account has the View Item Display Name or Name Alias role right, you can select how you want to identify items in dashboards and views. Display names are set by default. You can change this default setting to display item aliases instead.

Administrators can use a script to set aliases for monitored devices and interfaces. When the Item Name Display option is set to Use Item Name Alias, the alias appears in the Inventory list of devices or interfaces.
