This has nothing to do with any netmon cache - I think James Shanks has
commented on the non-existence of a netmon cache and refers to the netmon
pinglists as the only similar mechanism (going by my memory only) ?
The -Q option allows you to set the number of simultaneous netmon pingers. The
default is 16 pingers. I believe the NetView Performance group have tested up 32
netmon pingers and thus it may not be recommended you go beyond this. You would
want to have a need and adequate resources before considering increasing the
number of pingers above the default. If you look at a netmon.trace, you will
usually see netmon pumping out a group of pings together and it will usually be
the same as the number pingers that netmon has been configured to use (but I'm
not 100% sure that it will always be the same).
An example of where you might have a need to increase the number of netmon
pingers is if you have an aggressive status polling interval. Anything below 5
minutes could be considered aggressive. Or maybe you have NetView monitoring a
lot of devices.
Hope this helps,

Subject: RE: [NV-L] Netmon cache
Someone on this list once suggested using the -Q flag with netmon. I do not
recall exactly what it does, and it does not appear to be documented. We
are running our netmon with "-Q 32". I believe the default was 16. Maybe
someone with knowledge of netmon internals can enlighten us on what this
does,

Is there a setting someplace to change the cache size
that's used by Netmon?
Thanks,
