Post Installation Tasks

After you power on a CA User Activity Reporting Module server, you can do the following:

Change the Keyboard Type

By default, a provisioned CA User Activity Reporting Module server uses the standard US keyboard. You can change the keyboard type you want to use by changing its national language setting.

To change the keyboard type

  1. Login to the CA User Activity Reporting Module console as root user.
  2. Execute the following command: 
    vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard

    The keyboard file opens in edit mode. The existing keyboard type details are displayed.

  3. Replace US in the KEYTABLE value with the national language setting you want.

    For example, to use a UK keyboard, enter KEYTABLE value as KEYTABLE="UK".

  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart the computer.

    The keyboard type is changed.

Add an NTP Server

We highly recommend that you add an NTP server to update the date and time of CA User Activity Reporting Module server.

To add an NTP server

  1. Login to the CA User Activity Reporting Module console as root user.
  2. Execute the following commands: 
    crontab -e

    00 0 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate NTPserver_hostname

    A cron job is added.

  3. Save the changes, and exit the console.

    The NTP server is added.

How to Create an Event Collection Profile

An event collection profile contains the basic information required to create a CA User Activity Reporting Module listener or connector. This allows the application to provision event collection when the virtual automation API calls the profile.

Create collection profiles before using the virtual API. Each collection profile contains the information for a specific integration or listener. For this reason, it is likely that you create multiple collection profiles to fit your environment. You must have the administrator role to create, edit, or manage collection profiles.

You create an event collection profile in the following steps:

  1. Set Collection Profile Details
  2. Apply Suppression Rules
  3. Apply Summarization Rules
  4. Configure the Collection Profile.
