Well james, to clarify a little, a way of checking to see if netmon is
contribution to any performance on the AIX box. Is netmon falling behing
on polling ? Is the poll list too long for netmon ? Is netmon polling too
many nodes ? how long is the snmp poll list ? Should I increase/decrease
my polling frequency because netmon is falling behind ? Just a way of
telling if netmon is performing optimally.
Thanks for any assistance.
