Managing IP Nodes › Intensive Monitoring

Intensive Monitoring

When you are diagnosing a problem, you may want to change the sampling interval to less than five minutes (the normal minimum interval). To do this, you can apply intensive monitoring mode for a specified period.

Apply Intensive Monitoring Mode to an IP Node

To apply intensive monitoring mode to an IP node

1. Enter IMM next to a node name on the IP Node Monitor.

   The TCP/IP: Intensive Monitoring Mode panel appears.

2. Complete the following fields:

   Name

   Specifies the name of the attribute to be intensively monitored.

   Sampling Interval

   Specifies the intensive sample time required (minimum 15 seconds; maximum Duration of Sample, or one second less than the current rate for the selected attribute, whichever is smaller).

   Intensive Mode Duration

   Specifies the period for which intensive monitoring mode is applied (minimum one minute; maximum 30 minutes).

   Press F6 (Confirm).

   A confirmation message appears and X appears in the Ovr column of the selected IP node.

Reset Intensive Monitoring Mode for an IP Node

Use the IMR command to reset intensive monitoring mode for an IP node. This command sets the selected node’s sampling rate (for all attributes) back to the group attribute rate.

To reset intensive monitoring mode for an IP node

1. Enter IMR next to a node name on the IP Node Monitor.

   A confirmation message appears.

2. Press Enter.
