The factory device collections are mostly for use in a lab or in a demo setting. In a real production deployment, the best practice is to design and configure custom device collections to have granular control over what is being polled. For example, disable polling of a device by disassociating the device from any other device collection that has monitoring profiles that are associated to it. If you are associating monitoring profiles to the factory device collections (such as All Routers), then you cannot stop a single device from being polled. Devices cannot be removed from factory device collections, so you disassociate the monitoring profiles instead to disable polling. You then create custom device collections that contain devices that you want to apply the same polling policy to. Associate monitoring profiles (or custom monitoring profiles) to those custom device collections to begin polling.
Create custom device collections in CA Performance Center, then either synchronize them immediately with Data Aggregator, or wait for the automatic synchronization. Upon synchronization, Data Aggregator creates the corresponding device collections for use in monitoring devices.
Note: For more information about creating custom device collections and synchronizing them with Data Aggregator, see the CA Performance Center Administrator Guide.
Access the Monitoring Configuration menu to see a list of device collections and to see the monitoring profiles that are applied to each. Administrators can view the device collections for the tenant they are administering. A tenant administrator can view its own list of device collections.
