Integration with CA Server Automation

CA Server Automation is a management solution designed to manage physical and virtual systems with the SystemEDGE agent. The agent tightly integrates with CA Server Automation to provide functionality that no other manager or standalone agent offers. Integration with CA Server Automation lets you view SystemEDGE data and remotely configure and deploy SystemEDGE to all managed systems from the CA Server Automation user interface.

When you install the agent (through CA Server Automation or standalone), you specify ports and traps which are necessary to make the agent visible and manageable through the CA Server Automation manager. You also specify a data directory and default port during installation. CA Server Automation uses the data directory to deliver configuration changes. The data directory is appended with the default port number. For example, if you use the default port 161, the data directory would be C:\Program Files\CA\SystemEDGE\data\port161 (on Windows).
