Configuring VCM for Integration

The integration with ADM is built into VCM. To configure the integration with ADM, you only need to
configure the ADM integration settings.

Configuring VCM Integration Settings

Before you can use the ADM integration options, you must configure the settings.

1. In VCM, Select the setting to be configured, and then click

Edit Settings

.

2. The

Settings Wizard

page appears. The information to be configured in the wizard varies depending

on selected setting. The configuration options are as follows:

n

ADM Integration Enabled

n

Select

Yes

to enable the integration or

No

to disable the integration.

n

If enabled, the

View ADM Detail

and

View ADM Map

buttons become active when you

are working with machine data, for example,

Console | Windows | Operating Systems

| Machines

.

n

If the setting is enabled, the

ADM Reporting Database Name

and

ADM Server Name

or IP Address

must also be configured.

n

ADM Reporting Database Name

n

Type the name of the SQL database created on the Collector to synchronize with the
ADM database. The default value is ADM.

n

ADM Server Name or IP Address

n

Type the IP address or server name of the ADM server.

View

ADM Map

button. While 10 is the default value, it is recommended that you only view 3

or 4 devices in a map view. If you view more than 4 devices, the displayed map is too
complex to be useful.
