    Do we have server & network devices availability report in CA UIM  out of box ? We are looking for report which will ignore the downtime period of maintenance mode.

    Hi,

     

    I have not heard of one like that, but you can always build one in Unified reporter.

     

    Thanks

    Hi All,

     

    I can see that this a long feature request. Since i am new to CA UM, how difficult it is to configure this report ?

    Hi Orwin,

     

    As a work around, we have used SLM/SLA component and chose ping response as parameter for availability. In that way we can have some visibility on the availability of devices. Let me know if you need more info on this.

    Hi Orbin,

     

    Please read below articles, it will give you good understanding of SLM, SLA and SLO.

     

    Create a New Service Level Agreement - CA Unified Infrastructure Management - 8.31 - CA Technologies Documentation 

    The SLA Reports Portlet - CA Unified Infrastructure Management - 8.31 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    in case you still have doubts, let me know.

    Hi Hitesh,

     

    If ping is blocked then which metric can help me to create availability report through SLM/SLA component.

    Hello Waqar.Mustafa01, i think in two ways for that:

    You can install a Hub on the server network and from there ping the server, that way you bypass the firewall,

    You can create a test one server Port, for an example If is an Apache server you could test Port 80.
