Abstract
The new Monitoring Configuration Service feature within CA Unified Infrastructure Management
speeds monitoring configuration and deployment for large environments by allowing users to
configure and manage monitoring for hundreds of devices with a set of well-defined
configuration profiles. It’s easy and intuitive and uses a single user interface to view and
configure monitoring for your IT infrastructure. Join us to get hands-on experience using the new
Monitoring Configuration Service.

Monitoring Configuration Service Overview
§ Groups of devices
– Static groups
– Dynamic groups
§ As new devices are added to a group, monitoring profiles are
automatically added to the new devices
§ Profiles can be tested on individual devices to ensure accurate
monitoring and alarm configurations then can be promoted to
a group or another device
Efficiently Configure Monitoring Across Groups or Individual Devices
