Data Aggregator and CA Performance Center support the concept of device collections, which are logical groupings of monitored devices.
Several factory (out-of-the-box) device collections are provided to get data into your Data Aggregator system quickly and test the product. Devices that are detected during discovery are added to these device collections depending on their type. For example, routers are added to the factory All Routers device collection. Upon synchronization, these monitored devices are added to the corresponding device collections in CA Performance Center.
Factory monitoring profiles are then automatically applied to factory device collections, allowing data to be collected immediately without any intervention on your part. Once this data has been collected, you can run reports on the data to gain a better understanding of your network.
The following factory device collections are provided:
Note: 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 and optimal data collection.
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.
