Enable Synchronized Discovery

When you enable the Data Aggregator component to discover CA Spectrum devices, you enable a large set of functionality. The integration can enhance CA Spectrum fault and availability monitoring with device performance alerts that are based on the analysis of historical data. You can also drill down into device performance data in context from OneClick. And you can monitor the same devices with two different infrastructure management systems without additional discovery administration.

Follow these steps:

1. Launch the CA Performance Center console and click Admin, Data Sources.

   The Manage Data Sources page opens.

2. Select the Data Aggregator data source in the list, and click Edit.

   The Edit Data Source dialog opens.

3. Select the option to Discover devices from other data sources.
4. Click Save.

   Enabling the Data Aggregator component to discover devices from other data sources initiates a synchronization of the CA Infrastructure Management device inventory with CA Spectrum. If CA Infrastructure Management determines that a device known to CA Spectrum is not in the CA Infrastructure Management inventory, the IP address of the device is added to an automatically created discovery profile. This discovery profile is configured to run with a daily schedule by default. You can run the discovery manually or adjust the schedule to meet your requirements.
