  • that's not good... We loose an hour worth of data at 3am each morning... We run a 24/hr shop here...

(currently using v7.4) Every morning during the SW Database maintenance 2:15am we get about an hour gap on ALL devices where no CPU/interface snmp polls go through.

  • Do you get missed polls? Seems that if our Polling completion is below 99.0% we start missing polls. I have been increasing the max polls per sec, but I'm now thinking that I should be lowering it... I have also noticed that if the NetPerfMon Service thread is near 100% CPU, we miss polls. I wish SW would monitor itself…

  • As long as you can keep the netperfmon service from peeking to 100%, you'll be ok. If the service goes to 100%, we miss polls. We finally have set our Polls to 50/sec and status polls to 100/sec and we are ok for now. i'm not sure if setting the daily to 120 will make a difference in anything other than DB size. dp…
