DCAE supports closed loop control and higher-level correlation for business and operations activities. It is the ecosystem component that supports analytics and events: it collects performance, usage, and configuration data; provides computation of analytics; aids in trouble-shooting; and publishes events, data and analytics (for example, to policy, orchestration, and the data lake).
