Adding servers to monitor
- Under Defined Clusters, highlight
the cluster that you created, and then click Edit.
You can also double-click the cluster name.
- In the Add Cluster dialog box, click Add to
select the servers you want to monitor.
- You can enter the collection interval (in seconds) in the Interval
(seconds) parameter box. Specifying a collection interval makes the
task of analyzing data for an entire cluster simpler because the times
reported are the same as the information produced and collected during
a specific interval. If you leave this field blank, the Dashboard
does not change the aggregation intervals of the Listeners it connects
to within this cluster. Instead, the Dashboard receives data from
them on their existing collection schedule.
- The interval setting is ignored by the Image Manager and Content Platform Engine Listeners. Their interval
is determined by the polling schedule that is set in the configuration
file perf_mon.script.
- You can configure the number of data points, regardless of the
collection interval, that the Dashboard saves in memory. By default,
the Dashboard stores 500 data points. You can configure this parameter
by editing the value under the Maximum data points parameter.
- In the Host Information dialog box,
enter the name or IP address of the server you want monitored under
the Add Host parameter. Normally, the TCP port
number that is displayed does not need to be changed, as it is the
default value that is used by the Listeners.
- Click OK to add this host to the
list of hosts in this cluster.
- Repeat the steps until all of the hosts within this cluster
are added.
