Monitoring Profiles

Monitoring profiles determine the polling speed and what statistics are discovered and polled for the devices in a device collection. A selection of factory (out-of-the-box) monitoring profiles is provided. Factory monitoring profiles are automatically applied to factory device collections, such as the All Routers device collection. Factory monitoring profiles cannot be edited or deleted from the system, but they can be removed from a device collection or copied to create a custom profile.

You can create, edit, copy, or delete customized monitoring profiles as the administrator. Custom monitoring profiles are made available globally in the user interface and are not tenant-scoped even if you are an MSP administrator working in a tenant workspace. (However, the device collections that monitoring profiles are associated with are tenant-scoped). For example, you can create a "Gold Service Router Monitoring" monitoring profile and you can use it for all of your gold level tenants. You do not have to create a separate "Gold Service Router Monitoring" monitoring profile for each gold level tenant.

Name uniqueness of the monitoring profiles is enforced across all tenants.

Use the CA Performance Center user interface or Data Aggregator REST web services to manage monitoring profiles and view their associations with device collections.
