Disabling Monitor Types

Home  Previous  Next

Discovering and collecting 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 any component of a system.

informationNote that the monitoring of Volumes and LUNs  can be disabled through the user interface, refer to the Enabling/Disabling Volumes and LUNs Monitoring section for detailed information.

warningDisabling the monitoring of a Monitor Type (for example NetApp Controller) also deactivates the monitoring of its related Monitor Types (for example NetApp Processor). Before disabling the monitoring of any Monitor Type, refer to the table below to know which related component may be disabled from your monitoring environment.

To disable monitor types

1.Create a new policy or edit an existing policy.
2.In the Add Monitoring Configuration panel, scroll down to the Optional Settings section.
