Re: [NV-L] Fine Tunning Polling Intervals!

[Francois Le Hir <flehir@ca.ibm.com>]

It all depend on the resources of your server, but netview is able to poll
thousands of nodes every 5mn and even at a shorter interval. The way it
does it is that it doesn't wait for an answer before sending pings to other
objects. My server poll over 6000 interfaces every 2mn so if your server
has the resources, I would not worry about netmon not being multi-threaded.

Hi list,

NV 7.1.4 FP04
Windows 2003 Std SP1

We have around 1200 nodes, consisting of Routers, Servers and ATMs, or to
elaborate 400 locations, and each location has  one (1) Router, One Server
and One ATM respectively.

We want to configure/tune netview in a such a way that if any one of the
node for e.g the "Server" goes down it(netview) should be able to alert
within five(5) minutes. Now as per my understanding configuring netview to
poll 1200 nodes every 5 minutes is not the answer, there is a high
possibility that it could ever poll all 1200 nodes in one go. I also read
that "netmon" is not multi-threaded so it makes it even kinda of worst.

So what would you suggest we configure or tune netview so that it should be
able to alert the operations staff within 5 minutes if any
(Server,Router,ATM) goes down. What have been your experiences or how did u
handle these kind of situations in your experiences? or just a head start
for me where shall i look into.

Thanks in advance!


Regards,

Usman Taokeer
