To Modify the Default Polling Interval for a Server

Before You Begin

To enable the management agent IP and security credentials on a server named server, add the management features on the server as explained in Adding Base and OS Management Features.

Steps

1. Open the /etc/opt/sun/n1gc/monitoring.properties file.

   If the file does not exist, create it.

2. Modify or add lines in the monitoring.properties file that describe default polling intervals.

   pollinginterval.monitor=value

   The syntax requires the pollinginterval keyword.

   monitor is either hardwarehealth, osresources or network. The polling of network reachability is not possible unless OS resource monitoring has been enabled, as described in Enabling Monitoring.

   The value is in seconds, and the minimum value is 60.

3. Save the file.

   You do not need to reboot the management server or the provisionable server for the changes to take effect. The modified default polling intervals values now apply to all servers managed by the N1 System Manager.

Example 5–6 Modifying Default Values

This example shows how to set the hardware health monitoring polling interval to 180 seconds, the OS resource utilization monitoring polling interval to 175 seconds, and the network reachability monitoring polling interval to 160 seconds. The following entries are made in the monitoring.properties configuration file.

pollinginterval.hardwarehealth=180
pollinginterval.osresources=175
pollinginterval.network=160
