Introduction to Connectors › Connector Configuration › View Connector Status

View Connector Status

As an administrator, you can view the Connector Status table, which lists all the connectors available to CA SOI. From this table, you can monitor the IFW and connector status.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration tab, and select Connector Configuration.

   The Connector Status table displays with the following columns:

   Connector Service

   Displays the name of the server where the IFW is installed. The IFW exists on every system that has at least one connector installed, and it connects to the domain manager that CA SOI is monitoring.

   Status

   Displays one of the following states for the IFW on the connector server:

   Online/Offline

   Indicates that the IFW is running or not running.

   Initializing

   Indicates that the IFW is starting up.

   Handshake

   Indicates that the IFW was started and is waiting for CA SOI to contact it.

   Closing

   Indicates that the IFW is shutting down.

   Connector

   Displays the connector identifier using the following format:

   connector_mdrproductvalue@product_host. The connector runs on its installed system, communicates with the individual domain manager, collects data from it, and lets the IFW process this data. The connector identifier typically includes a unique ID number for each connector and the system on which the integrated domain manager is installed.

   Status

   Displays one of the following states:

   Online\Offline

   Indicates that the connector is running or is not running.

   Initializing

   Indicates that the connector is starting. This state is short-lived during which connectors initialize their connections to domain managers and build their caches before switching to the Online status.

   Handshake

   Indicates that the connector was started and is waiting for CA SOI to contact it.

   Closing

   Indicates that the connector is shutting down.

   Source Description

   Contains information about the source domain manager with which the connector integrates, specifically on which system the domain manager is running.

   Connector Description

   Contains the connector identifier and version number.

2. Click one of the server names in the Connector Service column.

   The read-only details page opens and displays the following details about the IFW on each connector server:

   Note: The tree view in the Administration Pages pane is expanded, and the selected server is highlighted under the Connector Configuration node. You can also navigate to this details page by clicking the tree nodes.

   CA Service Operations Insight Integration Framework Status

   Indicates the status of the IFW on the system.

   Messaging Service Properties

   Displays information regarding the ActiveMQ messaging service that controls the exchange of information between the connector, the IFW, and manager components.

   Connector Status

   Contains status information about the connectors that are installed on this system.

   UCF Broker 1/UCF Binding 1

   Contains information about UCF, or the common CA Catalyst connector framework.

3. Select Connector Configuration in the tree to return to the Connector Configuration page.
4. Select one of the connector identifiers in the Connector column.

   Note: The tree view in the Administration Pages pane is expanded and the selected server is highlighted under the Connector Service node. Also, you can navigate to this details page by clicking the tree nodes.
