Exclude Agents on loadbalancing over DX SaaS

Products

• CA Application Performance Management SaaS

Issue/Introduction

 Is it possible to modify the loadbalancing.xml to throw out some agents from the DX SaaS APM Cluster ? 

 

 

 

Environment

Release : SAAS

Component : APM SAAS ENTERPRISE

Cause

Per Engineering and PM, unfortunately, it is not possible to configure SAAS to expel agents.

Resolution

 As a workaround, use CloudProxy as described below: 

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/dx-apm-saas/SaaS/implementing-agents/migrate-agents-using-cloud-proxy.html#concept.dita_e5552e4232322e9de844fa9251eb951624058f6d_MigrateIndividualAgentstoUsingCloudProxy

 

This way you can selectively move Agents that are ready for SaaS.
