CA Spectrum

CA Spectrum supports managing discovered systems with the SystemEDGE agent. Managing SystemEDGE with CA Spectrum can provide systems management within the context of your distributed network. The agent can alert CA Spectrum to under-performing system metrics and stopped processes or applications that may affect the operation of your network.

You can view SNMP metrics collected by the SystemEDGE agent and the entries in the self-monitoring tables from the Spectrum OneClick interface. CA Spectrum can collect traps sent by the agent and display them as events, so that you can manage exceptions from OneClick. You can configure the CA Spectrum alarm view with rules that generate alarms when specific SystemEDGE traps are collected, so that you can discover and resolve specific system problems in the same way that you do network faults.

CA Spectrum 9.2 supports the SystemEDGE r5.0 Systems Management Empire MIB, which enables the state management functionality. You can add, edit, and delete monitors using the embedded OneClick tables provided by SystemEDGE 5.0. CA Spectrum r9.2 dynamically checks for the release (latest or previous) of SystemEDGE agent and displays release-specific information.

CA Spectrum also supports SystemEDGE AIMs. When receiving AIM traps in CA Spectrum 9.2, the traps include the agent type, agent name, and alarm type.

Note: Several features specific to CA Virtual Assurance are not available when you use the SystemEDGE agent with OneClick. For more information about these features, see Concepts chapter.

To enable the full functionality of the agent, you must manage the agent with CA Virtual Assurance. For more information, see the CA Virtual Assurance documentation.
