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.
Note 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.
Disabling 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
2. | In the Add Monitoring Configuration panel, scroll down to the Optional Settings section. |

Enabling/Disabling Monitor Types Monitoring
3. | In the Disable Monitor Types field, enter the value corresponding to the component for which you want to disable the monitoring, according to the detailed table below: |
Values must be delimited by commas, for example: Sis,Disk,ClusterDisk ….
