Disabling Volumes Monitoring

Home  Previous  Next

Discovering and collecting volumes metrics are resource-intensive actions that can create extra workload on the PATROL Agent and the targeted system. To limit the number of instances created and therefore reduce the system resource consumption, administrators can disable the monitoring of all the volumes of a system.

1.Right-click the EMC SMI-S Provider icon > KM Commands > Disable Volumes Monitoring...

Cmd_Disable_Volumes_Monitoring_Unchecked

Disabling Volumes Monitoring

2.Select Disable Volumes Monitoring and click OK.

Discovery and collect requests and operations are no longer performed. Volumes no longer appear in the PATROL Console.

To resume volumes monitoring

1.Right-click the EMC SMI-S Provider icon > KM Commands > Disable Volumes Monitoring...

Cmd_Enable_Volumes_Monitoring_Unchecked

Resuming Volumes Monitoring

2.Deselect the Disable Volumes Monitoring option.
3.Click OK.
