This document summarizes a hands-on lab session about using the new CA Spectrum Web Client to more efficiently monitor IT infrastructure. The session will cover using the topology and alarms views of the client to monitor for issues, view device and alarm details, and manage alarms. Future enhancements may include improved interfaces, added administration capabilities through the client, and integrations with other CA products to provide more advanced insights.
