To Configure JMX Polling Settings

The Cluster MBean provided by Waveset has both passive and active operational modes. In active mode, the MBean polls the Waveset repository for additional data and exposes that data through JMX.

Currently, enabling Cluster polling is not recommended because the operational cost of polling is greater than the information provided by the polling. However, if you choose to enable Cluster polling, you can use the following process:

1. Follow the steps described in Using the Administrator Interface to Configure Waveset. Select the JMX tab.

2. Enable JMX cluster polling and configure the interval for the polling threads.

   Use the following options:

   • Enable JMX Cluster Polling. Enables or disables the polling thread for the JMX Cluster MBean. Because system resources are used for polling cycles, enable this option only if you plan to use JMX.

   • Polling Interval (ms). Changes the default interval at which the server polls the repository for changes, when JMX is enabled. Specify the interval in milliseconds.

     The default polling interval is set to 60000 milliseconds. To change it, enter the new value in the entry field provided.

3. Click Save to save changes to the server settings.

With the exception of the Cluster MBean, all other Waveset MBeans are passive, meaning they do not do any additional processing on their own. Most MBeans reflect the values of counters or other variables in the Waveset server. Because they are passive, they add very little processing load to the server.
