Synchronizing between Data Aggregator and CA Performance Center helps ensure that the component items appear in the Inventory menu. Further, synchronizing enables grouping in CA Performance Center for those items and enables context pages for their item types.
Data Aggregator synchronizes devices, interfaces, and various device component types to CA Performance Center. Only interfaces with data that can be used in reports are synchronized with CA Performance Center. These include interfaces that are being actively monitored, and retired interfaces, which have historical data.
Data Aggregator also synchronizes IP addresses for any interfaces that have one or more IP addresses. If it is available, Data Aggregator synchronizes subnet information for a given interface IP address.
If you want to synchronize other components of your custom metric family with CA Performance Center, you can do so using the <ItemSyncDefinition> section. This section defines the component's types and subtypes and how they appear in CA Performance Center.
Discovered devices and components usually take up to 5 minutes to begin to synchronize with CA Performance Center. Synchronization can take more than 5 minutes to complete when there are many items.
While synchronization is in progress, Data Aggregator waits to synchronize newly discovered devices and components until after the current synchronization finishes.
