Managing Interfaces › How to Poll Critical Interfaces Faster than Noncritical Interfaces › View Your Monitoring Profiles

View Your Monitoring Profiles

As the CA Performance Center Administrator, you decide to poll critical interfaces as often as possible. However, you want to minimize unnecessary network traffic that polling all interfaces at this fast rate can produce. You decide to create two monitoring profiles for interfaces—one with normal polling, and one with fast polling.

Before you create a monitoring profile, you review the existing monitoring profiles to find one that closely matches your needs.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Monitoring Profiles from the Monitoring Configuration menu for your Data Aggregator data source.

   A list of monitoring profiles is populated.

2. Select a monitoring profile.

   Details for the selected monitoring profile populate the tabs:

   • Metric Families tab—Displays a list of metric families that are associated with that specific monitoring profile. Metric families contain the metrics that are used for polling devices and components.
   • Collections tab—Displays a list of device collections that are associated with that specific monitoring profile.
